Instructions

In a large bowl, combine protein powder with cocoa powder, oat flour and a pinch of salt. Quickly give it a good stir, then add in peanut butter, maple syrup and chocolate chips. Mix until you get a smooth dough.
Note: Based on the protein powder choice, the dough may require more nut butter if it is too dry (casein and vegan protein powder), or more oat flour if it is too sticky (whey).
Line a 15 x 15 cm (6 x 6 in) pan with parchment paper or grease with little oil so that the protein bars do not stick to the bottom. Transfer protein dough to your prepared pan, smooth it out and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Once it has set, cut into bars.
Place your homemade chocolate protein bars in a sealable food container and store in the fridge for a maximum of five days.

Notes

Use whey, casein or vegan protein powder of choice.
- If you utilize vegan protein powder you may need to adjust the dough with more peanut butter or maple syrup. Add more in case it is too dry.
- If you utilize whey, the dough may require additional oat flour in case it is sticky.
Use unflavored, chocolate, vanilla or brownie protein powder.
Use gluten-free protein powder if necessary.
