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
- 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.
- 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.
- Prepare for Coating: Place the shaped dough pieces on a baking tray lined with baking paper and set aside.
- Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate until smooth. Set aside for dipping.
- 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.
- Chill: Refrigerate the coated bars for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
- 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.
