1️⃣ In a medium heavy pot, combine milk, peanut butter, and maple syrup over low heat. Stir just until all ingredients are well combined and warmed through.
Remove from heat.
2️⃣ Add protein powder, oats, and 1/2 the chocolate chips. Stir to combine well. Taste and add more maple syrup if desired.
3️⃣ Press evenly into bar mold, using firm pressure to compress mixture into desired bar thickness. Tip: use wet or lightly greased hands to prevent sticking.
Allow bars to cool completely in freezer.
4️⃣ While bars are cooling, melt remainder of chocolate with olive oil. Drizzle melted chocolate over bars and let cool. Wrap in airtight container and store at moderate room temp for several days, or chilled in fridge for a week.
HEALTHIER CHOCOLATE PB CUPS
If you want to satisfy your sweet tooth, give these a try!
You’ll need:

melted dark chocolate
flaky sea salt
1. In a bowl, combine peanut butter, oats, puffed rice and honey.
2. Scoop the mixture into a muffin pan.
3. Flatten each mixture with a spoon.
4. Drizzle melted chocolate on top of each mixture.
5. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
6. Freeze for 15 minutes.

This makes 12 chocolate peanut butter cups!
OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
These are my go-to oatmeal raisin cookies that come together so easily! You will absolutely love them! And if you prefer chocolate chips, simply sub them for the raisins.
You’ll need:
1 ripe banana (mashed)
¼ cup almond butter (or any nut butter)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup oats (I used gluten-free)
1/3 cup raisins
1. In a small bowl, combine the mashed banana, almond butter, and cinnamon.
2. Stir in oats.
3. Fold in raisins.
4. Refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes (to firm up).
5. Scoop onto a lined baking sheet and flatten (this batch made 4 cookies).
6. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes at 400F.
7. Remove from oven, add flaky sea salt (optional), and enjoy!
