- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2-3 tbsp plant milk (soy, almond, oat) as needed for consistency

- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and soy/coconut milk.
