High-Protein Snack Squares

Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats

• 1 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)

• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)

• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

• 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine oats, protein powder, and chia/flax if using.

2. Add wet ingredients: Stir in peanut butter, honey, and milk until a thick dough forms. (If too dry, add a splash more milk; if too sticky, add more oats.)

3. Press into pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Press mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.

4. Chill & set: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.

5. Cut & store: Slice into squares. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container (lasts up to 1 week) or freeze for longer storage.

✨ Variations:

• Add dried fruit, coconut, or chopped nuts for texture.

• Use unflavored protein powder and sweeten with extra honey or a few dates.

• For dessert-like bars, drizzle with melted dark chocolate before chilling.
