Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats
½ cup peanuts, shelled
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup honey
⅓ cup butter
2 tablespoons chia seeds
¼ cup ground flaxseed
5 scoops (1½ cups plus 1 tablespoon) protein powder of choice *See Note 1
½ cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour the oats and peanuts onto a rimmed baking sheet, and bake for 12 minutes, until just toasted.
Add the butter, peanut butter, and honey together in a small sauce pot. Bring to a low simmer, scraping the bottom as it cooks. Once the mixture is running thin and the butter has melted, remove from the heat.
In a large bowl, mix the toasted oats and peanuts with the chia, flax, and melted peanut butter mixture. Stir until just combined, and then add the protein powder and stir again.
Press the mixture into a 9x13 pan, pressing down with the bottom of a cup or measuring cup. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
Add the chocolate chips to the top and press into the mixture.
Let the bars cool completely and then cut into 24 pieces.

Notes

*See Note 1: feel free to use any vanilla protein powder that you love. That said, if you're in the market for a really delicious, high quality protein powder, Equip protein is always our choice.
