Peanut Butter Protein Bars |
Prep time: 20 mins
Total time: 20 mins
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup rice cereal
- ¾ cup whey protein powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup vanilla almond milk
- ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Add oats to a blender and blend into a flour.
- Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl, and add the rice cereal, protein powder, and salt.
- Mix the ingredients well with a wooden spoon, then add the peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and almond milk. Stir until you get an evenly moist crumbly mixture.
- Line an 8-inch x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, and use another sheet of parchment paper to firmly press the dough into the pan.
- Place in the refrigerator.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe dish, no more than 45 seconds at a time in-between stirs.
- Transfer the chocolate to a plastic bag and cut a hole in the bottom corner (the width of the hole will determine the size of the drizzle! I like mine small).
- Squeeze the bag over the bars, drizzling melted chocolate all over.
- Place in the freezer for 10 minutes, then lift the parchment paper onto a cutting board and cut 12 bars.
- Store in the refrigerator.
Makes 12 bars
