Ingredients
- * 2 cups rolled oats about 180g
- * 1 cup vanilla protein powder roughly 100g
- * 1/2 cup almond butter about 120ml
- * 1/4 cup honey 60ml
- * 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk 120ml
- * 1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
- * 1/2 cup cinnamon chips 90g
- * 1/4 cup caramel pieces about 45g
- * A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, mix almond butter, honey, and caramel pieces. Microwave for 30 seconds or until melted. Stir well.
- Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Stir until all ingredients are combined.
- Slowly incorporate the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough-like consistency is achieved.
- Fold in the cinnamon chips.
- Spread the mixture onto a greased or parchment-lined 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish. Ensure the mix is even and smooth.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
- Let Cinnamon Chip Caramel Protein Bars cool completely before cutting into 10 equal bars.
Notes
1. For an added crunch, throw in some chopped nuts or seeds.
2. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature; this helps in even mixing.
3. Store leftover Cinnamon Chip Caramel Protein Bars in an airtight container for up to a week.
4. Using a sharp knife will help in cutting the bars neatly once they're cooled.
