Servings: 12 bars
Calories: 164kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten Free rolled oats
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted peanut butter or any nut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips dairy free
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350 F. Prepare an 8-inch x 8-inch square baking dish by lining with parchment paper.
- To a small bowl, combine vanilla, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, peanut butter and sugar. Mix to combine well.
- To a larger bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, flax meal, cinnamon and salt.
- Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients until fully incorporated. Then fold chips into the batter dispersing them well.
- Transfer the batter to the baking dish, spreading into an even layer with a spatula pressing into the corners. I found using my hands was helpful!
- Bake 17 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool in the pan 20 minutes. Lift the parchment paper out of the baking pan and set on a cutting board. Slice into 16 bars.
- Optional: drizzle melted chocolate over the top.

Notes
- For the recipe, I've also used 1/2 cup Gluten Free Oat Flour with 1/2 cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats. Either method works!
