Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup bolt whey chocolate protein powder
• 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to your desired sweetness)
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and bolt whey chocolate protein powder. Stir them together until well combined.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, add the almond butter and honey (or maple syrup). Microwave for about 20-30 seconds or until the mixture becomes soft and easier to stir.
• Pour the melted almond butter and honey mixture into the bowl with the oats and protein powder. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
• Mix everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the wet ingredients. The mixture should be sticky and hold together when pressed.
• Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips into the mixture.
• Line a square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some excess paper hanging over the sides to easily lift the bars later.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Use your hands or a spatula to firmly press the mixture down to form a compact and smooth layer.
• Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the bars are firm and set.
• Once the bars are chilled and firm, lift them out of the baking dish using the excess parchment paper.
• Cut the chilled mixture into bars of your desired size and shape.
• Serve immediately, or store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious No-Bake Chocolate Protein Bars as a quick snack or post-workout treat!
