Instructions
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. In a large bowl, combine the oats, puffed rice, protein powder, almond flour, sweetener, and salt. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, almond milk, and syrup. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and pourable. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the oat mixture, stirring until everything is well coated. You will need to use a rubber spatula to fold everything together to ensure the dry ingredients are well incorporated. Fold in half the chocolate chips reserving half for the top. If the mixture is to dry add a drop of almond milk and combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly into an even layer and top with the remaining chocolate chips lightly smashing into the mixture so they don’t fall off when cutting. Refrigerate for at least 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the bars are firm enough to cut. Using the parchment paper, lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal bars.View original recipe
