Serves: 8 Bars
Ingredients
  • ½ Cup Vanilla Brown Rice Protein (I used Perfect Fit Protein. Don't use whey. You'll be sad.)
  • ⅓ Cup of Oats
  • ⅓ Cup of Drippy Almond Butter
  • ¼ Cup Coconut Oil Melted, + ½ Tablespoon Divided
  • 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • ½ Cup Chocolate Chips, Divided (I used Enjoy Life brand)
Instructions
  1. Prepare an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, pulse oats until they are coarsely ground.
  3. Add oats to a large bowl along with protein powder, Almond Butter, ¼ Cup of coconut oil, maple syrup and ¼ cup of chocolate chips. Stir well until combined. Mixture may be a bit thick - keep stirring!
  4. Carefully transfer mixture into the 8x8 pan, and firmly press into one even layer.
  5. Place in the fridge to set (takes about 45 minutes).
  6. Once the bars are set, cut into ~8 bars. Make the chocolate drizzle by melting the chocolate chips and remaining coconut oil (I did this using 15 second increments in the microwave).
  7. Carefully drizzle the chocolate mixture over the bars, and place back in the fridge for another 10-15 minutes to set.
  8. Store sealed in the fridge for up to one week.
