Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 scoops Vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup Nut butter (almond or peanut)
- 0.33 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
- 3 tablespoons Mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds (if using). Mix well.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring between intervals.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir to combine.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until evenly combined. If using mini chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish using the back of a spoon or your hands.
Refrigerate the dish for about 1 hour, or until the mixture firms up.
Once set, remove the mixture from the dish and cut it into 12 bars or squares.
Store the protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
