Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • ¼ Cup Peanut Butter I used all natural
  • ¼ Cup Mini Chocolate Chips
  • Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk Can use regular **See instructions for amount
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 40 grams Chocolate Whey Protein Powder *Can use any protein but the consistency might change
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt

Method
 

  1. Mix together peanut butter, chocolate chips, oats, vanilla, salt, and protein powder
  2. Once mixed and crumbly, slowly add a splash or two of milk of choice and mix until you form a sticky ball. It will still be on the dry side. You don't want mush here
  3. Form dough into little balls OR flatten on a non-stick or sprayed cookie sheet for bars
  4. Let dough set in the fridge and firm up before eating. Cut the bars and enjoy!
  5. Store in an air tight container in the fridge

Notes

Vegan version, swap the protein to a vegan protein and chocolate chips.
Gluten free version, use a gluten free oat brand you trust (these may not always be 100% gluten free due to cross-contamination)
