For the chocolate topping:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if necessary)
  • 2 tbsp cashew butter

Instructions

  2. Place oat flour, protein powder, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl, stirring to combine.
  3. Add maple syrup, cashew butter, almond milk, and vanilla. Stir until you have a ball of "dough." Using wet hands, press evenly into prepared baking dish.

  5. Freeze for at least 2 hours before slicing into 9 bars. Top with a sprinkle of salt and devour!

Notes

*You can make your own oat flour by grinding old-fashioned oats in the Nutribullet or a high-speed blender.
