Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 scoop Whey protein powder
- 1 quarter cup Almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Chopped almonds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whey protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, chopped almonds, and salt.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add the almond butter and honey. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to slightly melt the almond butter, then stir until the mixture is smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and almond milk to the almond butter and honey mixture, and stir well until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until all the oats are evenly coated and you have a thick sticky mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or your hands.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour or until it is set and firm.
Once set, remove the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
Cut into 8 equal-sized bars.
Store the protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
