Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 cup Nutella
• 1 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, add Nutella, peanut butter, and honey. Microwave on high for about 30 seconds or until melted and easy to stir. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Add the melted Nutella mixture, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Fold in dark chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on the sides. Press the mixture into the dish evenly, using the back of a spatula or your hands.

Step 6

Refrigerate for at least two hours or until firm. This will help the bars hold their shape.

Step 7

Once firm, lift the parchment paper to remove the whole block from the dish. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 bars.

Step 8

Store the High Protein Nutella Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
