Chocolate no-bake protein bars

Ingredients
  • 2 cups  oats 
  • 3 TBS flax seeds
  • 2 TBS cacao powder
  • 3 scoops whey protein 
  • ¾ cup  nut butter* (I used peanut butter from Oh mega nut butters)
  • 1.5 TBS coconut oil  ( I used organic virgin coconut oil from Crede) 
  • ⅓ cup  honey 
  • 50g chocolate chips - melted 
Instructions
Line 8x8 pan with parchment paper, set aside. In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients (oats through protein powder). Set aside. 
In a medium microwave safe bowl, add  nut butter, coconut oil, and honey. Microwave for 10-15 seconds, and stir until evenly combined.  Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stir gently until mixture is evenly combined.  Mixture will be thick and heavy.  Press mixture into prepared pan, using hands to press evenly into all corners. 
Place pan in refrigerator for 1 hour to set (or 30 minutes in freezer).  Once bars have set, lift parchment paper from pan and place on cutting board.   Using a large sharp knife, cut bars into servings.  Store Chocolate Protein Oat Bars in airtight container in fridge.
