Instructions
- Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir together with a spatula until well combined.
- Stir in the oats, protein powder, and sea salt.
- Transfer about 2/3 of the peanut butter oat mixture to the prepared pan. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.
- In a medium microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Place in the microwave and heat in 30 second intervals, or until smooth. Stir well.
- Pour the chocolate overtop of the bars. Spread with a spatula so the chocolate is in an even layer.
- Crumble the remaining peanut butter oat mixture over the top of the bars and press down gently. Press the M&M’s on top of the bars and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before cutting.
- When chilled completely, cut into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze the bars for up to 3 months.
- Use your favorite protein powder. If you don’t want to use protein powder, you can use collagen powder, almond flour, or oat flour.
