Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats Use gluten-free oats if needed for dietary preferences.
- 1 cup nut butter Any creamy nut butter works great.
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup For a vegan option, stick with maple syrup.
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips Choose high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut Sweetened or unsweetened, depending on your preference.

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients until they're well mixed. The mixture should be sticky and hold together.
- Transfer the mixture into the lined dish and press it down firmly into an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the edges start to turn a light golden brown.
- Once baked, let the bars cool completely in the pan. Then use the parchment paper to lift them out and cut into bars as desired. Enjoy your homemade protein-packed treat!
Notes
These bars are perfect for a quick snack or post-workout boost. Store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
