Ingredients

• 1/2 cup dates (pitted)
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 3 tbsp oat flour (blended rolled oats)
• 6 tbsp protein powder
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp almond butter
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare your dates: If your dates are a bit dry, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes to soften, then drain well.
2. Blend the base: Add all ingredients to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until the mixture comes together and forms a sticky, dough-like consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times.
3. Press into pan: Line a small loaf pan or square dish with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon or your hands.
4. Chill: Place in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or in the freezer for 30 minutes, until firm.
5. Slice and serve: Remove from the pan using the parchment paper, cut into bars or squares, and enjoy!

Storage Tips

Store your Chocolate Protein Snickers Slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. They're delicious straight from the fridge or freezer!

Pro Tips

• Texture matters: If your mixture seems too dry, add a splash of water or a bit more maple syrup. If it's too wet, add more oat flour.
• Protein powder: Choose your favorite flavor! Chocolate protein powder will give you an extra chocolatey hit, while vanilla keeps it classic.
• Optional add-ins: Stir in some chopped peanuts for extra crunch, or drizzle with melted dark chocolate for a more decadent finish.

These bars prove that eating healthy doesn't mean sacrificing flavor. Whether you're meal prepping for the week or need a quick energy boost, this Chocolate Protein Snickers Slice has you covered!
