Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt (optional, if peanut butter is unsalted)

Method
 

  1. Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and salt (if using) in a large bowl. Stir for 30 seconds until the powder coats the oats.
  2. Add the peanut butter and honey. Mix for 1 minute until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips. Press the mixture firmly into an 8x8 inch parchment-lined pan. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  4. Lift the block out using the parchment, slice into 12 bars, and serve.

Notes

Chilling for at least 1 hour is essential to set the bars, but that time is not counted in the prep or total time. For the neatest slices, let the cold block sit on the counter for five minutes before cutting.
