Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 scoops Vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup Nut butter (almond or peanut)
• 0.33 cup Honey or maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds (optional)
• 3 tablespoons Mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, shredded coconut, vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds (if using). Mix well.

Step 2

In a small microwave-safe bowl, add the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals until melted and smooth, stirring between intervals.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until evenly combined. If using mini chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.

Step 5

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish using the back of a spoon or your hands.

Step 6

Refrigerate the dish for about 1 hour, or until the mixture firms up.

Step 7

Once set, remove the mixture from the dish and cut it into 12 bars or squares.

Step 8

Store the protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
