Let’s Get Cooking:

1. Grab a big bowl and toss in the oats, protein powder, those lovely crushed peppermints, and a pinch of salt. Mix ’em up!
2. Now, in a microwave-friendly bowl, let’s get the almond butter and honey all melty—just half a minute should do.
3. Pour that gooey goodness into our dry mix.
4. Splash in the vanilla and almond milk. Give it a good stir until everything’s friends.
5. Here’s the fun part: sprinkle in those white chocolate chips. Mix again!
6. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment (makes life easier) and press the mix in.
7. Patience is a virtue! Let it set in the fridge for an hour or so.
8. Cut them up into 8 pieces and voila, White Chocolate Peppermint Protein Bars are ready!

Insider Tips:

1. If you’re all about that mint life, a few drops of peppermint extract can amplify the flavor.
2. Chunky oats? Run them through a food processor for a smoother texture.
3. When pressing the mix into the pan, give it some elbow grease to make sure it sticks together.
4. If you’re plant-based, switch the honey for maple syrup and double-check your protein powder source.

Serving Ideas:

• Post gym? Grab a bar!
• Feeling fancy? Pair with your favorite tea or even a cold glass of almond milk.
• Breakfast on-the-go? Crumble a bar over some Greek yogurt and sprinkle some berries.
