Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats

1 1/2 cups protein powder (* See notes)

1 cup peanut butter (smooth and creamy ** See notes)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine your rolled oats and protein powder and mix well. In a microwave safe bowl, add your peanut butter and honey and microwave in 20-second spurts until the peanut butter has softened. Whisk together until smooth and thick.
