Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup Honey Sea Salt Peanut Butter
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or preferred plant-based milk)
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup 
• 1 tsp vanilla extract 
•  2/3 cup oat flour 
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder (we're using the brand Truvani here)
• 1 tsp cinnamon 
• 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips 
• 1 tsp coconut oil 

Directions 

1. Line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside. 
2. To a large mixing bowl or standing mixer with a paddle attachment, add the peanut butter, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth. 
3. Add the oat flour, protein powder, and cinnamon. Mix together until just-combined. (The mixture should have a doughy consistency that is malleable but doesn't stick to your hands.)
4. Transfer the dough to the loaf pan and press into an even layer. Place in the freezer while preparing the chocolate coating. 
5. In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and the coconut oil. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted. 
6. Remove the protein bars from the freezer and pour the chocolate on top, smoothing so everything is in an even layer. 
7. Place the protein bars back in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. 
8. After the chocolate has set, remove from the freezer and slice into 8 even squares. Enjoy! These are best kept refrigerated for up to one week.
