Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Natural Peanut Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar Or brown sugar
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • 1/2 cup Oat Flour Plus 2 tablespoons
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Peanut Butter I love PB2
  • 1/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Roasted Peanuts Roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 large Egg Yolk
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
  • 1/3 cup Mini Chocolate Chips
  • 2 ounces Semisweet Chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Protein Powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously spray an 8x8 inch pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, microwave the peanut butter and the honey until it is smooth and fluid, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the coconut sugar on top and let it stand for 5 minutes. Do not mix the coconut sugar in.
  • While the sugar stands, combine the oatmeal, oat flour, powdered peanut butter, protein powder, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and roasted peanuts in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
  • Once the peanut butter/sugar mixture has been standing for 5 minutes, beat it until well combined with an electric mixer.
  • Add in the vanilla extract and egg yolk and beat again until well combined. The egg yolk will thicken the peanut butter mixture up quite a bit.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture, along with the almond milk and mini chocolate chips, into the oatmeal mixture. Mix until well combined. Your dough will be very thick.
  • Press into the prepared pan and bake until it appears just set and the edges begin to turn golden brown, about 20 mins. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • Once the bars have cooled, melt the remaining chocolate in the microwave using 20 second intervals on 50% power, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Stir in the protein powder and drizzle on the bars.
  • DEVOUR.

Notes

  • Coconut sugar is a little bit coarse, and letting it sit for 5 minutes helps it slightly dissolve. If you use brown sugar, skip this step and go right into beating the sugar and the peanut butter.
