Storage: Keep bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw in the fridge before serving. Make-Ahead: These bars are perfect for meal prep. Prepare them up to 3 days in advance. Variations: Add 1/4 cup chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for extra crunch, or substitute the chocolate chips with dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins) for a different flavor profile. For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter and ensure your oats are certified nut-free. Serving Suggestion: Enjoy straight from the fridge for a cool, chewy treat, or let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a softer bite.
