Vegan Protein Bars
These vegan protein bars are soft, chewy, and perfect to snack on between meals! No baking required, they use simple ingredients and better than anything store bought!
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups oat flour gluten free, if needed
- 1/2 cup vegan protein powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup peanut butter smooth and creamy * See notes
- 1/3 cup maple syrup can use agave nectar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk ** See notes
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix your dry ingredients until combined. In a microwave safe bowl, add your peanut butter and maple syrup and microwave for a minute, until warm and melted. Whisk together, until smooth.
- Add the peanut butter/syrup mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well, until thick and crumbly. Add the almond milk and mix until combined and a thick dough remains. If it is too thick, add extra milk as needed.
- Transfer your dough into the lined pan and press down and flatten out. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, to firm up. Once firm, slice into 12 bars.
