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 (depending on protein powder type)

Coating

½ cup chocolate (87g)

Instructions

Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine oat flour, vanilla protein powder or almond flour, and granulated sweetener. Add peanut butter and ¼ cup milk, then mix thoroughly. Slowly add more milk, as needed, until a firm dough forms that can be rolled by hand without sticking. Adjust milk amount depending on your protein powder type (whey requires less, pea needs more).
Form Bars: Scoop a tablespoon of dough and roll it into your desired shape using your hands. Repeat until all the dough is used, which should make about 18 mini bars or eggs. Place the shaped bars on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate until smooth and ready for dipping.
Coat Bars: Dip each rolled dough bar into the melted chocolate, then use a fork to scoop and lift it out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated bars back onto the lined baking paper.
Chill Bars: Place the chocolate-coated bars in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
Serve and Enjoy: Once set, enjoy these delicious homemade protein bars as a nutritious snack anytime.

Notes

Adjust milk quantity depending on your protein powder type; whey protein needs less milk than pea protein.
You can substitute the peanut butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice.
Choose granulated sweeteners like erythritol, stevia, or sugar depending on your dietary preference.
Ensure the chocolate is fully melted and smooth for easy coating of the bars.
Store the bars in the fridge to keep the chocolate firm and maintain freshness.
