Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter, peanut butter, honey, and brown sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the rolled oats, whey protein powder, and chopped nuts (if using) into the saucepan; mix until the ingredients are well combined and the oats are fully coated.
Spread the oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking tray, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to ensure evenness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the flapjacks to cool in the tray for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into 12 equal-sized bars and store in an airtight container.
