Steps
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tahini (or sunflower seed butter), honey, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Add the rolled oats, pepitas, chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients together until the mixture is uniform and everything comes together into a thick, sticky dough.
Line a medium-sized baking tray with parchment paper.
Transfer the mixture into the lined tray and press down very firmly with your hands or the back of a spoon to flatten it into an even layer.
Place the tray in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the bites to set.
Once set, remove from the tray and slice into 35 small squares.
Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. If freezing, place baking paper between layers to prevent sticking. For lunchboxes, transfer from the freezer to the fridge the night before to defrost, then pack chilled into an insulated lunchbox.
