📝 Preparation Steps

Heat

In a medium heavy pot, combine milk, peanut butter, and maple syrup/honey over low heat. Stir just until all ingredients are well combined and warmed through. Remove from heat.

peanut butter (chunky)1 cup

Stir

Add protein powder, oats, and optional cinnamon or add-ins. Stir to combine well. Taste and add more maple syrup or honey if desired. If mixture is too thick to stir, add 1 tsp milk at a time just until it's stir-able; mixture should still be thick and not at all watery.

cinnamon (optional)1 teaspoon

Combine

Lightly grease an 8x8 pan. Press evenly into pan, using firm pressure to compress mixture into desired bar thickness. Tip: use wet or lightly greased hands to prevent sticking.

Cool

Allow bars to cool completely. Once cool, cut into squares. If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate and let cool completely. Wrap in airtight container and store at moderate room temp for several days, or chilled in fridge for a week.
