Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup natural nut butter (e.g., almond or peanut butter) Consider almond butter for a nutty flavor.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Swap for agave syrup if you're vegan.
  • 1/2 cup protein powder Vegan or non-vegan.
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, nut butter, honey or maple syrup, protein powder, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
  • If you fancy, fold in chocolate chips or dried fruit for additional flavors and textures.
  • Transfer the mixture to a lined 8x8 inch baking pan. Press down firmly to ensure it holds together.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Patience is key for the perfect texture!
  • After they’ve set, cut into bars and enjoy them on-the-go as a quick snack!

Notes

Wrap bars individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper and keep in an airtight container for up to two weeks in the refrigerator. For longer storage, consider freezing them with parchment paper between each bar to prevent sticking.
