Chocolate Granola Bars
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened natural peanut butter
2 tbsp agave syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa nibs
1 scoop unflavoured whey protein isolate
2 tbsp chopped nuts
What to do:
1. Melt the butter, peanut butter and cocoa in a pot over medium to low heat, stirring constantly. Turn off the burner when melted. Or in a microwavable bowl for 2 minutes at 60% power level (this will depend on the microwave as well)
2. Pour in the cup of oats and the flax seed. Stir until combined.
3. Wait until it cools and stir in the coconut,protein powder and chopped nuts.
4. Pour into foil-lined 8 X 8 pan and stick in the fridge. (I used a glass pan sprayed with Pam).
5. Once cooled, flip out (the bars….not you) onto cutting board and cut to the size you like.
They’re now ready to eat.
