Homemade healthy snack bars that are packed with protein, fiber, and taste amazing! You'll love that they are no bake and made with your favorite Bob's Red Mill products.
Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment or waxed paper. Leave some over hang with the paper on each side of the pan so that it's easy to pull the bars out of the pan later. Set the pan aside.
In a medium mixing bowl add the honey, peanut butter, and coconut oil and stir to combine.
Add the protein powder, flax meal, chia seeds, shredded coconut, and oats.
Stir to combine.
Place the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan and press it into the bottom of the pan.
Melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together (microwave and stove top both work for this) and then spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer
Sprinkle the melted chocolate with a little coarse sea salt if you'd like (optional).
Place the bars in the fridge until they are firm, about 1 hour.
Remove from the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into 16 snack bars. Store bars in the fridge.
Notes
If you are leaving out the oats, reduce the coconut oil to 1 tablespoon.
These have a better texture and store the best if kept in the fridge.
See post for details on substitutions for this recipes. It's very flexible!
You can make these bars in a 9x5 bread pan if you'd like the bars to be thicker, it works great.
