Recipe type: Snack
Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
  • 1 cup oat flour (You can make your own: 1 cup oats in a blender or food processor)
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ⅓ cup PB2 (or vanilla protein powder)
  • ½ cup natural, runny peanut butter, unsalted
  • ¼ cup nondairy milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • Pinch salt
  • ¼ cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in a food processor until a thick dough forms. If too runny, add more PB2/protein powder. If too dry, add more milk one teaspoon at a time.
  2. Press dough into a large loaf pan lined with parchment or wax paper. Lay another sheet of parchment on top and smooth the dough with your hands, making sure to press it into the corners of the pan.
  3. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the dough, replace the extra parchment paper, and press the chips down into the dough. Freeze at least one hour, then remove and cut into 12 bars. Store in the fridge or freezer for firmer bars that last 1-2 weeks, or on the counter in an air-tight container for 3-4 days.
