Ingredients

For the Base

1 cup Natural Peanut Butter Can substitute with almond butter
1/2 cup Honey or Maple Syrup Use syrup for a vegan option
2 cups Rolled Oats Quick oats or gluten-free oats can be used
1/2 cup Protein Powder Optional for added protein
1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 pinch Salt

Instructions

Preparation Steps

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the natural peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Press the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of the prepared dish to form a compact layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts until melted.
Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed peanut butter mixture and spread evenly.
Place the dish in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set.
Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper edges and cut into squares.

Notes

For an extra chocolate fix, drizzle melted chocolate on top before serving.
