Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 
  • 3 tablespoons hemp hearts or flaxseed meal
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup organic protein powder*
  • ¾ cup all natural peanut butter*
  • 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon raw honey (use brown rice syrup or maple syrup for vegan)
  • 3 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instruction

  • Line 8×8 pan with parchment paper, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together oats, protein powder, hemp hearts and chia seeds; set aside.
  • In a medium microwave safe bowl, add peanut butter, coconut oil, and honey. Microwave for 10-15 seconds, and stir until evenly combined. Add to dry ingredients, mixing with hands at the end as needed. Mixture will be thick.
  • Press oat mixture into prepared pan, using hands to press evenly into all corners. Place pan in refrigerator for about 45 minutes to set (or 20 minutes in freezer).
  • Once bars have set, melt chocolate: melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave on half power in 15-20 second intervals. Once completely melted stir in peanut butter until no lumps are present. Drizzle peanut butter chocolate on bars and allow to set, about 15 minutes at room temperature.
  • Lift parchment paper from pan and place on cutting board. Using a large sharp knife, cut bars into 12 servings.
  • Store Peanut Butter Protein Oat Bars in airtight container in fridge up to 2 weeks, or in store in freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy!
