Chocolate Protein Bars Recipe: In 1 Hour 15 Mins

Instructions:

1. In a large glass mixing bowl, whisk together the protein powder, oat flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt until no lumps remain.
2. Add the nut butter and maple syrup to the dry mixture. Use a silicone spatula to fold the ingredients together until the texture resembles dark, sandy soil.
3. Gradually add almond milk one tablespoon at a time, mixing between additions, until a stiff and pliable dough forms that holds its shape when squeezed.
4. Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the dough to the pan and press it into an even layer using the spatula or the bottom of a flat measuring cup.
5. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
6. Pour the melted chocolate over the protein base, spreading it to the edges. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour until firm.
7. Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the bars from the pan and slice into 10 even rectangles.
