Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 cup Peanut butter (or almond butter)
• 0.5 cup Honey (or maple syrup)
• 0.333 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.333 cup Mini dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.333 cup Lightly toasted nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts), chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) for 20-30 seconds until slightly softened. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and salt to the peanut butter and honey mixture, then stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until all the ingredients are fully coated and stick together.

Step 5

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press it down firmly and evenly using the back of a spatula or your hands.

Step 6

Chill the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the mixture to set.

Step 7

Once firm, remove the mixture from the pan and cut it into 8 rectangular bars or smaller pieces, if desired.

Step 8

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer shelf life.
