Ingredients
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1/2 cup of almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
- 1/4 cup of honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1/2 cup of protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- 1/4 cup of hemp seeds
- 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients. It’s much easier when everything is in one place. Trust me!
- In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, and hemp seeds first — this will help the flavors meld together right from the start.
- Then, add in the almond butter and honey. Mix well. You want everything to be nicely combined; using your hands might be the best way to go. Just get in there and get it mixed!
- If you’re feeling a little extra, toss in those chocolate chips. They’ll melt slightly and provide a nice gooey texture.
- Once everything is mixed together, grab an 8×8 inch baking dish. Line it with parchment paper so you can easily remove the bars later.
- Spread the mixture into the dish and press down firmly. The firmer you pack it in, the better your bars will hold together.
- Chill in the fridge for about 30-60 minutes. Patience is key here, but the outcome is so worth it!
- Once chilled, take them out, and cut into bars or squares as your heart desires. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
And there you have it, folks! A scrumptious snack that won’t take up too much of your time, but will definitely keep you fueled throughout your day. Enjoy!
