Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 scoop Whey protein powder
• 1 quarter cup Almond butter
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Almond milk
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 0.25 cup Chopped almonds
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whey protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, chopped almonds, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, add the almond butter and honey. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to slightly melt the almond butter, then stir until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and almond milk to the almond butter and honey mixture, and stir well until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until all the oats are evenly coated and you have a thick sticky mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or your hands.

Step 7

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour or until it is set and firm.

Step 8

Once set, remove the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut into 8 equal-sized bars.

Step 10

Store the protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
