Ingredients

• 1.5 cups gluten-free rolled oats, blended into a flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened vegan protein powder
• 1/2 cup rice crisp cereal
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt, to taste
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil

Preparation

1. Line an 8-inch square pan with a piece of parchment paper. Mix the oat flour, protein powder, rice crisp, and salt together in a large bowl.
2. Add in the nut/seed butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir to combine. If the mixture is dry, add a splash of non-dairy milk and mix again.
3. Press into pan and roll out with a pastry roller until smooth. Pop into the freezer.
4. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a small pot over low heat. When half of the chips have melted, remove from heat and stir until smooth.
5. After freezing the bars for about 5-10 minutes, remove from freezer and slice into bars. Drizzle with melted chocolate and freeze again. Store in the freezer for a week or longer in an air-tight freezer bag or container.
