Outer Layer

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats and protein. Add in the honey, peanut butter, and vanilla extract, and use a handheld mixer to combine.
  3. Press half of the mixture into the prepared pan. In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the chocolate and peanut butter together until smooth.
  4. Pour mixture over the oat layer and chill in the freezer for 20 minutes or until the chocolate layer is solid.
  5. Press the remaining oat mixture over the chocolate and cut it into 12 squares before serving. *Store in the refrigerator

Notes

  • You can use plant-based Protein powder or any other type you have on hand.
  • Agave will work great in place of honey as a plant-based option.
  • Use sugar-free chocolate chips if possible to cut down on the sugar.
  • I prefer using creamy peanut butter. It holds well. But other nut butter will work too.
  • Store in a container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  • You can freeze them for up to 3 months. To thaw just let it sit on the counter for 20 minutes or so.
