Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder
  • ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (if peanut butter is unsalted)
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the rolled oats, protein powder, and salt (if using). Add any dry mixins.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the peanut butter and honey, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in milk and vanilla. Pour over the dry ingredients and fold until combined.
  3. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly into an even layer. Chill for at least 1 hour until firm.
  4. Lift out using parchment, slice into 8 bars, and serve.

Notes

The bars need at least 1 hour to chill and set before slicing. Keep them refrigerated; they stay chewy for up to a week. For a peanut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter.
