Ingredients
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 large pitted dates
- ¼ cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup vegan protein powder
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhanging paper on the sides. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the peanut butter, dates, almond milk and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and consistent, about 1 minute.
- Stop the food processor to scrape down the sides, then add the oats, protein powder, ground flaxseed and salt. Pulse a few times until the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should have a cookie dough-like texture. If it’s too dry, add a splash of milk. If it’s too wet, add more protein powder and pulse again.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or your hands.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan and flatten out the top with your hands or the back of a spoon. It helps to spray your hands with oil when pressing down. Place in the freezer until it sets, about 15 minutes.
- Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift from the baking pan, and slice into 8 bars. Enjoy immediately.

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 10-14 days in the fridge.
- Freezing Instructions: After cutting the bars, freeze them on a baking sheet until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer safe container or bag. You then simply need to thaw them in the fridge overnight.
