Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened almond butter
- 0.5 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup unsweetened protein powder
- 0.5 cup chopped almonds
- 0.25 cup mini dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and protein powder.
Step 4
Slowly add the dry mixture to the almond butter mixture, stirring until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 5
Add chopped almonds and chocolate chips to the mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Step 6
Slowly pour in the almond milk, and mix until the dough comes together and is sufficiently moist.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing down firmly to create an even, compact layer.
Step 8
Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm and easy to cut.
Step 9
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and cut them into 12 approximately equal squares.
Step 10
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, keep them in the freezer and thaw before eating.
