Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars Recipe

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars are a delightful and easy-to-make snack, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while boosting your protein intake. Here’s how you can make these delicious bars at home:

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions:

  • Prep the Pan: Line an 8 1/2×4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides to make it easy to remove the bars later. Set the pan aside.
  •  
  • Mix the Base: In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the prepared loaf pan and set aside.
  •  
  • Make the Topping: Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  •  
  • Assemble the Bars: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture in the loaf pan, smoothing it out to cover evenly.
  •  
  • Chill and Serve: Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the bars from the pan. Cut into 8 bars and enjoy!
