1/2cuppure maple syrupcan substitute for agave nectar or brown rice syrup
1/2cupchocolate chips of choiceOptional, to melt over the top
Instructions
Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine your protein powder and rolled oats and mix well.
In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, heat up your almond butter with your syrup and heat until warm. Whisk together.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix very well, until combined. If the batter is too crumbly, add a little milk to thin out.
Transfer the protein bar batter into the lined pan and press firmly into place. Refrigerate until firm, and slice into bars. Drizzle with optional chocolate, if desired.
Notes
TO STORE. I recommend keeping leftover protein bars in the fridge so they stay fresher for longer. Transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. TO FREEZE. Leftover bars can be stored in a freezer-safe container frozen for up to 6 months. Let the bars thaw overnight at room temperature before enjoying.
