- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper
- Mix peanut butter and sugar together until fluffy
- Add in vanilla and mix.
- Add in flour, oats, salt and baking soda and mix. Slowly add almond milk and mix in until it forms a dough.
- Divide the dough and press 2/3 of the dough into bottom of the pan.
