Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.75 cup almond butter
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup vegan chocolate protein powder
- 0.5 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.25 cup almond milk
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 cup almonds, chopped
Instructions
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa powder, vegan chocolate protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add the almond butter and maple syrup. Heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds, then stir until smooth and well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and almond milk to the almond butter mixture, and stir well.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped almonds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly with a spatula or your hands to create an even layer.
Sprinkle the sea salt over the top of the mixture.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing into bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
