- 1 cup of rolled oats you can use quick oats if you’re in a hurry
- 1 cup of natural peanut butter or any nut butter you love
- 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup you can swap it with agave syrup
- 1/4 cup of chia seeds flax seeds work too!
- 1 cup of protein powder vanilla or chocolate (if you want to skip the protein powder, you can use nuts or seeds)
- 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips or dried fruits if you want a fruity twist
Instructions
- Mix It Up: In a big mixing bowl, throw in the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds. Give them a good stir to combine. This is where the magic begins!
- Add the Good Stuff: Now, pour in the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup). You might want to give those sticky ingredients a little elbow grease. Mix, mix, mix until it looks all deliciously combined!
- Chocolatey Goodness: Next, add in those chocolate chips. Feel free to toss in any other fun mix-ins you like. Who said healthy has to be boring? Keep mixing until everything’s evenly distributed.
- Shape It: Grab a lined baking dish (an 8x8 inch works great) and dump your mixture inside. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, making it all nice and flat. Think of it like creating a healthy brownie base!
- Bake Time: Pop that dish into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes. While it bakes, your kitchen will smell amazing — trust me!
- Cool & Cut: After 20 minutes, take it out and let it cool completely. Once it’s cooled down, slice it into bars or squares. You can also take a moment to admire your handiwork. Because you deserve it!
