Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, protein powder, and salt.
Add in the nut butter, maple syrup or honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more milk.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
Once chilled, slice into bars and store as desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and maple syrup.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Chia seeds or ground flaxseed can be added for extra fiber.

Use sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.

Chocolate protein powder adds a richer flavor.
