Equipment

  • 8x8 square pan or 8.5 x 4.5 bread loaf

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder about 3 servings of standard serving of protein powder
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter room temp, not melted
  • 6 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup almond milk a splash more if necessary
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • chocolate chips sprinkled on top

Instructions
 

  • First, mix oat flour and protein powder in a medium size mixing bowl. Next, add honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix with a large spoon until a sandy dough forms.
  • After this, add the almond milk and mix until everything is until well incorporated. The almond milk will make the dough moist and come together. It should be a dough-like consistency, similar to cookie dough.
  • Add the dough to a greased pan lined with parchment paper (see photo above). Using clean hands, gently press the dough into the pan, ensuring an even thickness throughout. Add chocolate chips to the top, and chill for 2 hours in the fridge.
  • After chilled, remove the bars from the pan use the parchament paper to pull them out. Slice them into 8 even bars. If the dough isn't yet stable, it needs more time in the fridge or freezer.
  • Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy!

Notes

For best results store, bars in the freezer. Store the bars in a ziplock bag or container with enough room to leave space between each bar so they don't overlap and freeze together. Eat straight from the freezer. Enjoy!
