Ingredients
- FOR THE BASE:
- 1 cup rolled oats 240g
- ½ cup chocolate protein powder 60g
- ¼ cup honey 85g
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter 120g
- ¼ cup almond milk 60ml
- FOR THE TOPPING:
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips 90g
- ¼ cup peanut butter 60g
- A sprinkle of sea salt
Instructions
- Start by lining an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides (this will help in lifting the bars out later).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your rolled oats and chocolate protein powder.
- Heat your peanut butter and honey in a saucepan over low-medium heat, stirring continuously until smooth and combined.
- Pour this creamy peanut butter mixture over your dry ingredients in the bowl. Mix until everything’s well incorporated.
- Slowly add almond milk. Blend until the mixture is compact. Depending on the protein powder’s consistency, you might need a tad bit more or less milk.
- Transfer this mixture to your prepared baking dish. Press down firmly to ensure a solid, even layer.
- For the topping, melt the dark chocolate chips and peanut butter together until smooth. This can be done using a microwave in 20-second intervals or using a double boiler.
- Spread this melted mixture over the base in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt over the top for that hint of gourmet flair.
- Place your dish in the refrigerator and chill for about an hour, or until set.
- Once chilled, use the parchment overhangs to lift out the block. Slice into 8 bars and enjoy your Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar!
Notes
When choosing your protein powder, opt for one without added sugars to keep this treat as healthy as possible.
If you’re a fan of crunch, consider adding some crushed nuts or cacao nibs into the base mixture.
Ensure your parchment paper is flat in the dish. This helps the bars come out neat and smooth.
