total timeIngredients
1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (136 g)
1 cup natural nut butter (any type, 240 g)
5 medjool dates (pits removed)
½ cup vegan protein powder (50 g)
¼ cup non-dairy milk (58 g)
3 tablespoons chia seeds (33 g)
3 tablespoons maple syrup (36 g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup mini chocolate chips (55 g)
Directions
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine the oats, nut butter and dates in a food processor and process until clumping together almost like a dough.
Add the protein powder, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla and salt. Continue to pulse until everything is mixed together. It will be processed enough when you can squeeze a small bit of the mixture and it stays clumped together.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the mini chocolate chips. Mix together by hand.
Spread the mixture into the prepared pan in an even layer. Use a flat bottomed measuring cup to press it into an even layer.
Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour before slicing into 12 equal bars.
Store leftover protein bars in the refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to consume.
