These Maple Peanut Butter Protein Oat Bars are the perfect balance of sweet and wholesome. Made with simple pantry staples like oat flour, natural peanut butter, and pure maple syrup, they come together in minutes—no oven required. Finished with a silky chocolate drizzle, they’re an easy make-ahead snack that feels like a treat but fuels you with lasting energy.

Maple Peanut Butter Protein Oat Bars

• 2 ½ cups oat flour (Bob’s Red Mill Non-GMO Oat Flour from Vitacost)
• ½ cup vanilla protein powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup natural peanut butter
• ⅔ cup maple syrup
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips (Lily’s Baking Chips Chocolate Salted Caramel OR Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Baking Chips  from Vitacost)
• 1–2 tbsp coconut oil (for melting with chocolate)

Directions:

1. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mix together oat flour, protein powder, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Add peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and ¼ cup melted coconut oil. Mix with your hands until the dough comes together — it should feel firm and pliable, like playdough.
4. Press mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with 1–2 tbsp coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Drizzle (or spread) melted chocolate over the pressed bars.
7. Refrigerate at least 1 hour until firm.
8. Lift out using parchment, slice into squares, and store in the fridge.
