Ingredients

Dry ingredients

1/4 cup oat flour (30 g) just blend oats until flour like
1 1/2 scoop (plant-based) protein powder (45 g) you will need more milk for plant-based protein. I used whey/casein blend PEScience.
1 tbsp almond flour (7 g) coconut flour or more oat flour might work

Wet ingredients

1 tbsp (plant) butter, melted (14 g) sub nut/seed butter, I love using tahini, sunbutter or peanut butter
1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g) sub sugar free syrup but I think this tastes way better with regular syrup
2 tbsp granulated sweetener or sugar (24 g) I used Lakanto monkfruit sweetener
drop of vanilla
pinch of salt
1-3 tbsp (plant) milk or water (15 g) add gradually as needed, how much you need will depend on your protein powder

Mix-ins

1 tbsp chocolate chips (14 g) I chopped mine small, sub any other mix-ins

Instructions

In a medium bowl mix all dry ingredients. Add all wet ingredients except milk/water, adding enough milk/water gradually to mix everything together without making the dough too wet. Adjust with a little flour or milk/water if needed.
Fold in chocolate chips. Shape however you like (I made little cookie dough scoops but you can do any shape, even protein bar shape) and let the dough rest in the fridge or freezer.
Enjoy as cookie dough bites on your ice cream or yogurt bowl, or on its own!

Notes

If you don't have oat flour on hand, you can simply blend oats until you get a fine flour. Alternatively you can use heat treated flour which you can make with regular flour in the microwave!
To Make Protein Bars:
1. Press the prepared dough into a small, parchment-lined pan (e.g., a 4x4 inch container).
2. Freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
3. Slice into bars and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
