Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Chocolate protein powder
• 1 cup Almond butter
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter and honey. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and easily pourable.

Step 4

Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the almond butter and honey mixture, and stir to combine.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Mix everything together with a spatula until a thick, evenly combined dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to press the dough firmly into an even, compact layer.

Step 8

Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours or until the bars have set and are firm.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
