Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, rolled oats, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter and honey. Microwave on high for 20–30 seconds or until the mixture is warm and slightly runny. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until you form a crumbly texture.
Gradually add the almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the mixture comes together into a thick dough. It should hold together without being too sticky.
Fold in the butterscotch chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the dough into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly into the dish.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the set mixture out of the dish. Slice into 8 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
