Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup chocolate protein powder
• 1 cup almond butter
• 0.5 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bars out easily later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine almond butter and honey. Microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the mixture is warm and easily stirred. Alternatively, melt the mixture on the stovetop over low heat.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract to the almond butter and honey mixture, and stir until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well combined.

Step 6

Fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they're well dispersed throughout the mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to press the mixture down firmly and evenly.

Step 8

Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the mixture has set completely.

Step 9

Once set, lift the granola bar slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 even bars.

Step 10

Store the granola bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
