Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup protein powder Choose your favorite kind, whether whey, casein, or plant-based; it's the star ingredient boosting your protein intake.
  • 1 cup rolled oats Provides heartiness to the bars and delivers fiber to keep you full and satisfied.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (almond or peanut) This creamy goodness binds everything and adds healthy fats.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Sweetens the deal while giving a lovely chewy texture.
  • 1/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk) Helps blend the ingredients smoothly.
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Optional but adds a delicious chocolate flavor.
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds Optional for added crunch and nutrition.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a sweet and aromatic flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the protein powder and rolled oats until they’re well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  3. Pour the smooth mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well combined, creating a thick, sticky dough.
  4. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and any nuts or seeds you wish to include.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a lined baking dish and press it down firmly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set.
  7. Once firm, cut into bars of your desired size.

Notes

These bars are perfect on their own but pairs well with a cozy cup of chai tea or a refreshing smoothie. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.
