Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cups almond butter
- 0.25 cups honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cups dried blueberries
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. Mix well.
In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, gently heat the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup) until warm and easy to mix. If using a microwave, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
Add the melted almond butter and honey mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine.
Slowly add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring continuously until a sticky dough forms.
Gently fold in the dried blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly into the pan.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1–2 hours, or until the mixture is fully set.
Once set, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut it into 8 evenly-sized bars.
Store the blueberry protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
