Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add Nutella, peanut butter, and honey. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds or until melted and easy to stir. Stir well to combine.
Add the melted Nutella mixture, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time.
Fold in dark chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides. Press the mixture into the dish evenly, using the back of a spatula or your hands.
Refrigerate for at least two hours or until firm. This will help the bars hold their shape.
Once firm, lift the parchment paper to remove the whole block from the dish. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 bars.
Store the High Protein Nutella Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
