Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 0.75 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chopped almonds, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, unsweetened shredded coconut, and salt.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the honey (or maple syrup) and peanut butter (or almond butter) together until smooth and well combined, stirring continuously.
Pour the melted honey and peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and sticky.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are distributed evenly throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it firmly into an even layer with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut the oat bars into 12 equal portions using a sharp knife.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
