Recipe Details

• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Refrigerate Time: 30 minutes

• Total Time: 40 minutes

• Servings: 8

Ingredients

The original recipe makes 8 servings. Here's what you'll need:

• 3/4 cup of peanut butter

• 1/2 cup of vanilla protein powder

• 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• 1/8 teaspoon of salt

• 1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips

• 1 teaspoon of coconut oil

Directions

1. First, take an 8 1/2x4 1/2 - inch loaf pan. Line it with parchment paper, leaving some extra on all sides. This will make it super easy to take the bars out later. Then set the pan aside.

2. Put the peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a bowl. Mix them well until they're all combined. After that, press the mixture into the prepared pan and set it aside.

3. Grab a microwave - safe bowl and put the chocolate chips and oil in it. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Keep doing this until the chips are completely melted when you stir. Pour the melted chocolate over the bars and smooth it out.

4. Pop the pan in the fridge until the chocolate sets, which takes about 30 minutes. Once it's set, cut the bars into 8 pieces.
