Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup rolled oats sub gluten-free oats if needed
  • ⅔ cup vanilla protien powder I use plant-based *see notes for whey
  • 1 cup drippy almond butter sunflower seed butter or peanut butter would also be great here!
  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips I use stevia-sweetened dark chocolate chips, but any type will work!
  • 1 pinch salt optional depending on desired level of saltiness (if if your nut butter is unsalted)

Instructions

  • Mix all your ingredients together in a medium bowl with a spoon or spatula.
  • Divide the dough into the bar molds. If you do not have bar molds, place parchment paper in a 8 x 8 pan. Evenly spread the mixture in the pan and cover.
  • Refrigerate your bars for about 30 minutes hours before enjoying them!* Store for up to a week in the refrigerator for the best taste!

Notes

*Whey protein powder absorbs differently than vegan protein powder. Depending on how the mixture is looking after mixed, you may need to add a splash of milk to help the mixture come together.
