Ingredients (for 12 bars):
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
• 1/2 cup nut butter (e.g., almond butter or peanut butter)
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (adjust for consistency)
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
◦ In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and a pinch of salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
◦ In another bowl, mix the nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), almond milk, and
vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Combine Mixtures:
◦ Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. If
using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
4. Adjust Consistency:
◦ If the mixture is too dry, add a little more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time,
until you can easily press it together.
5. Press into Pan:

the pan.
6. Chill:
◦ Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
7. Cut into Bars:

bars.
