Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds if using.
  3. In a separate, microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) together for about 30 seconds until easily stirrable.
  4. Pour the peanut butter mixture and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients.
  5. Stir well until everything is completely mixed and a thick dough forms. You may need to use your hands toward the end.
  6. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan. Use the back of a measuring cup for a flat surface.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm.
  8. Lift the parchment paper overhang to remove the block from the pan. Cut into 12 or 16 bars.
  9. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetener to your taste preference.
  • If the mixture seems too dry, add a teaspoon more of peanut butter.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon more of protein powder or oats.
  • Feel free to mix in chocolate chips for extra flavor.
