In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, and chia seeds. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) and microwave on low power for 30 seconds or until slightly melted. Stir to combine.
Add the melted peanut butter mixture, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until well combined and the mixture forms a dense, sticky dough.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and sea salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the sides for easy removal.
Transfer the dough into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish, creating a smooth surface.
Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm and set.
Once set, lift the mixture out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 equal slices.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to one month.
