Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup PB Fit powdered peanut butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips or chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the quick oats, PB Fit powdered peanut butter, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is thick but spreadable, ensuring all dry ingredients are moistened.
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang to easily lift the bars later.
- Press Mixture: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down evenly, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon or your hands.
- Add Toppings: If using, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or chopped peanuts evenly over the top and gently press them into the surface so they stick.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to firm up completely.
- Slice and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slab out of the pan, place on a cutting board and cut into 8 bars. Store accordingly.
Notes
- Store bars in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze them for up to 2 months to maintain freshness.
- For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of vanilla or peanut butter protein powder to the dry ingredients and adjust milk quantity as needed to maintain the right consistency.
- Use certified gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free diet.
