Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 1 cup Peanut butter (natural, creamy)
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 0.33 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 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 for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure they are well mixed.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until the mixture becomes soft and easy to stir. Mix well until smooth.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and milk to the peanut butter and honey mixture. Stir until fully combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together until you have a thick dough-like consistency.
Step 6
Once the mixture is combined, fold in the dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spatula or your hands to create a flat, compact layer.
Step 8
Refrigerate the dish for at least 2 hours or until the mixture is firm and set.
Step 9
Once set, remove the bars from the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 equal bars.
Step 10
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
