Ingredients
  

  • Rolled oats: 1 cup 240 ml
  • Vanilla protein powder: 1/2 cup 120 ml
  • White chocolate chips because, yum!: 1/4 cup (60 ml)
  • Crushed peppermint candies for that festive kick: 1/4 cup (60 ml)
  • Creamy almond butter: 1/2 cup 120 ml
  • Honey Nature’s sweetener: 2 tbsp (30 ml)
  • Unsweetened almond milk: 1/4 cup 60 ml
  • A dash of vanilla extract: 1/2 tsp 2.5 ml
  • And of course, a smidge of salt!

Method
 

  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!

Notes

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