Ingredients

• 100 grams Sesame seeds
• 100 grams Rolled oats
• 50 grams Protein powder (vanilla)
• 50 grams Almonds, chopped
• 100 grams Peanut butter
• 100 milliliters Honey
• 30 grams Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the sesame seeds and rolled oats evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted sesame seeds and oats with the protein powder and chopped almonds. Stir well to ensure an even distribution.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil. Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 6

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, pressing down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer.

Step 8

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to slice.

Step 9

Once set, remove from the refrigerator and lift the bars out of the dish by using the parchment paper. Cut into 12 bars.

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
