Chocolate Oat Protein Bars
May 06, 2018
Ingredients
-
1/3 cup of raw walnuts
-
2/3 cup pitted dates
-
1 1/2 cup oats
-
2 scoops vanilla protein powder ( I used Sun Warrior)
-
2 tbsp Flaxseeds
-
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
-
1/3 cup nut butter
-
3 tbsp water
-
1/2 cup dark chocolate, or more!
Instructions
-
Pulse walnuts and dates in a food processor until a crumbled, sticky mixture.
-
Put that mixture along with the rest of the ingredients into a large bowl or mixer and combine well. The mixture will be wet and sticky.
-
Line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper or foil.
-
Press firmly into the pan.
-
Melt chocolate and butter if desired, in a microwave safe bowl. The best way I’ve found to do this it to use the defrost option stirring several times for 30 seconds or so.
-
Spread chocolate over the oat mixture and pop into the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.
-
Cut into bars and store in the fridge or freezer.
