Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Natural peanut butter
• 1 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
• 0.5 cup Dried fruits (e.g., cranberries, raisins, or apricots)
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseed meal
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra paper hanging over the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, chopped nuts, dried fruits, dark chocolate chips, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is warm and easy to combine (about 45 seconds total).

Step 4

Stir the vanilla extract into the warmed peanut butter and honey mixture.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture sticks together.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased) to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.

Step 7

Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm enough to cut.

Step 8

Once set, lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 equal bars.

Step 9

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
