Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup rolled oats (blended into flour)
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup peanut butter (Mayver's food brand recommended)
• 0.33 cup honey
• water (add 1 tbsp at a time if mixture is too dry)
• 100 g dark chocolate (for topping)
• flaky salt (for sprinkling on top)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the rolled oats in a blender and process until they reach a fine flour consistency.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, and honey.

3. 3

   Mix the ingredients well until thoroughly combined. If the mixture appears too dry or crumbly, add water one tablespoon at a time until a pressable consistency is reached.

4. 4

   Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture to the tray and press it down firmly and evenly into the base.

5. 5

   Place the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.

6. 6

   Pour the melted chocolate over the oat base and spread it evenly to the edges.

7. 7

   Place the tray in the fridge and allow it to set until the chocolate is firm.

8. 8

   Once set, sprinkle with flaky salt. Slice into bars and enjoy.

Notes

If the mixture is too dry, add water very gradually. Store these bars in a sealed container in the fridge to keep the chocolate from melting and maintain texture.
