• Mix oil, honey and vanilla in a large bowl.
• Add cooled oats, chocolate chips and nuts (if using) and mix well. (Note: If the oats are still warm at all, the chocolate chips will melt.).
• Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper and mist with oil.
• Spread the mixture evenly onto the parchment.
• Lay a sheet of waxed paper over the mixture and press to compact. (I use the palms of my hands to start, and then I use the bottom of a drinking glass to make the surface as smooth as possible.).
• Remove the waxed paper and use a rubber spatula to press in any of the oats that may have "straggled" up the sides of the dish.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Cool completely and lift parchment from the dish.
