Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup almond butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out easily later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine almond butter and honey. Microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the mixture is warm and easily stirred. Alternatively, melt the mixture on the stovetop over low heat.
Add the vanilla extract to the almond butter and honey mixture, and stir until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they're well dispersed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to press the mixture down firmly and evenly.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the mixture has set completely.
Once set, lift the granola bar slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 even bars.
Store the granola bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
