- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 40 grams Chocolate Whey Protein Powder *Can use any protein but the consistency might change
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
Instructions
- Mix together peanut butter, chocolate chips, oats, vanilla, salt, and protein powder
- 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
- Form dough into little balls OR flatten on a non-stick or sprayed cookie sheet for bars
- Let dough set in the fridge and firm up before eating. Cut the bars and enjoy!
- 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)
