Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¼ cup plant-based vanilla protein powder I used Nuzest
- 1 cup oat flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt omit if peanut butter has salt
- ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter or almond butter
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil plus more if needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2-4 Tablespoons chocolate chips plus more for topping
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine protein powder, oat flour and salt. Add in peanut butter, honey, vanilla and coconut oil. The dough will be quite thick. I suggest combining the dough with your hands. If it’s still too dry add more melted coconut oil or water, 1 teaspoon at a time.
- Mix in chocolate chips with hand or spoon.
- Press dough into a lined loaf pan and add more chocolate chips on top. Press the chips in with your hands.
- Let bars chill in fridge for at least one hour before cutting.
- Remove bars from the fridge, cut into 6 equal-sized bars and enjoy. Bars will last about one week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.

Notes
- Peanut butter: any natural, drippy nut butter should work. You can try almond butter, cashew butter or sunflower seed butter.
