Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
- 1/2 cup honey or agave syrup
- 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (optional for added fiber)
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Fresh red and blue food coloring (optional for decoration)
- Edible glitter or sprinkles for a fun touch
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla whey protein powder, and chia seeds. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, gently heat the peanut butter and honey until smooth and well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or a splash of water.
- Divide the mixture into two portions. Tint one portion with red food coloring and the other with blue for a fun superhero effect. Mix until colors are evenly distributed.
- Press the red and blue mixtures into a lined baking dish, creating a layered or swirled pattern for a vibrant look. Sprinkle dark chocolate chips or cacao nibs on top for added texture.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, cut into bars or squares.
Notes
- Use high-quality ingredients for optimal flavor and texture.
- Color the mixtures thoroughly for vibrant visuals.
- Press the mixture firmly into the dish to prevent crumbling.
- Store in the refrigerator for freshness and best texture.
