Description
Delicious and healthy no-bake protein oat bars perfect for a quick snack or breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats (use certified gluten-free if needed)
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup natural almond butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar (optional)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Add the rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until they form a coarse flour. Transfer to a large bowl and mix with protein powder, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, stir together almond butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Add almond milk one tablespoon at a time if the mixture feels too dry.
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Press the dough firmly and evenly into the pan, flattening the surface while keeping a natural hand-pressed texture.
- If using, mix coconut sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the surface. Gently press the topping into the dough.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm. Remove from the pan and slice into 8 bars.
Notes
- These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding nuts or dried fruit.
