These delicious double chocolate, brownie-inspired protein bars are easy, simple, and high in protein. The whey protein, powdered peanut butter, and Greek yogurt add protein, the melted chocolate adds richness and crunch, and the oat flour keeps them gluten-free!

BASE - DRY
- 3/4 cup (72 g) Powdered peanut butter
- 2/3 cup (60 g) Oat flour
- 1 1/2 scoop (45 g) Whey protein powder, chocolate
- 2 tbsp (10 g) Cocoa powder
- Small pinch (0.38 g) Salt

BASE - WET
- 1/2 cup (113 g) Plain nonfat greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp (45 g) Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp (5 g) Vanilla extract

TOPPING
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Sugar free chocolate chips
- 1 tsp (4 g) Extra virgin coconut oil
- Pinch (1.5 g) Flaky salt

1. Mix together the dry base ingredients in a large bowl - powdered peanut butter, oat flour, whey, cocoa powder, and salt.

2. Add in the wet base ingredients, and mix until fully combined with a silicone spatula - yogurt, almond milk, and vanilla.

3. Transfer the dough to a parchment lined container. My container is 6.2" x 4.5".

4. Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small bowl. Microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.

5. Spread the melted chocolate on top of the protein bar base. Top with a pinch of flaky salt.

6. Let the bars chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to harden the chocolate before cutting into 5 bars.
