Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cups Chopped dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sea salt. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 20-30 seconds or until softened, then stir until smooth.
Add the peanut butter and honey mixture to the dry ingredients, along with the unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract. Mix until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash more almond milk.
Fold in the chopped dark chocolate, distributing evenly throughout the mixture.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish using your hands or a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the bars.
Once set, remove the mixture from the baking dish and cut it into 8 rectangular bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a quick snack or post-workout boost!
