Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups oat flour (208g)
  • ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder OR almond flour (118g)
  • 3–4 tbsp granulated sweetener of choice
  • ½ cup peanut butter or nut butter of choice (129g)
  • ½–1 cup milk of choice (adjust based on protein powder type)

Coating

  • ½ cup chocolate (87g)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix all ingredients except the chocolate until a firm dough forms. Start by adding ¼ cup of milk and add more gradually to reach a dough consistency suitable for rolling. Adjust milk amount based on your protein powder’s absorption ability.
  2. Shape Bars: Scoop about a tablespoon of the dough and roll into the desired shape using your hands. You should get approximately 18 mini bars or eggs from the mixture.
  3. Prepare for Coating: Place the shaped dough pieces on a baking tray lined with baking paper and set aside.
  4. Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate until smooth. Set aside for dipping.
  5. Coat Bars: Dip each dough piece into the melted chocolate, lifting with a fork to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated bars back onto the lined tray.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the coated bars for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
  7. Enjoy: Serve chilled for a delicious and satisfying protein-packed snack.

Notes

  • Adjust milk quantity based on the type of protein powder to achieve a firm dough.
  • Use your preferred nut butter for a unique twist on flavor.
  • Granulated sweetener can be substituted with natural sweeteners like stevia or erythritol for a lower-calorie option.
  • Store the bars in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate coating firm.
  • These bars make a great pre- or post-workout snack and are perfect for on-the-go energy.
