Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with foil and spray liberally with non-stick spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, flax, chia seeds, banana chips and salt.

In a small saucepan, melt butter, honey and peanut butter together over medium high heat until in begins to simmer. Bring to a boil and allow to bubble for about 1 minute, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. {It will bubble and steam so be careful.}

Pour the honey mixture over the oat mixture and stir together until all of the dry mixture is coated.

Scoop into prepared pan and press down to pack it a bit and even out the top.

Sprinkle chocolate chips {if using} over the top and press down lightly to adhere them.

Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until the top is lightly golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into bars. {If you cut it while it's warm, it will crumble.}

Store in an airtight container -- they won't last long!
