Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Chocolate-flavored protein powder
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chocolate-flavored protein powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the creamy peanut butter and honey together in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and well-mixed.
Stir the vanilla extract into the peanut butter and honey mixture.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a thick dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it holds together.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to compress it well for a firm texture.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed mixture in the pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm and the chocolate topping is set.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 evenly-sized bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
