Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- 1 cup Peanut butter (or any nut butter)
- 1 cup Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 quarter cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir until evenly distributed.
Add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the dry ingredients. Use a large spoon or your hands to mix until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it firmly into an even layer using the back of a spoon or your hands.
Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and easy to cut.
Once firm, remove the mixture from the dish and slice it into 12 equal-sized bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
