Calories: 245kcal

Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat flour
  • 1 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup semi -sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour and protein powder, whisking to ensure no lumps remain.
  • Incorporate the peanut butter and maple syrup into the dry mixture using a stiff spatula until a crumbly texture is achieved.
  • Add almond milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing continuously until the dough becomes cohesive and can be pressed together without crumbling.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and compress firmly into an even layer using a flat-bottomed measuring cup or spatula.
  • In a microwave-safe glass bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil; heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each, until fully emulsified and smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate ganache over the protein base and tilt the pan to distribute the layer evenly.
  • Place the pan in the refrigerator for a minimum of 60 minutes to allow the lipids in the peanut butter and chocolate to solidify.
  • Using the parchment overhang, lift the block from the pan and slice into 12 uniform rectangular bars using a sharp chef's knife.
