Ingredients
  

For the Base

  • 1 cup Protein Powder Opt for plant-based versions for vegan-friendly bars.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, gather your creamy peanut butter, protein powder, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly for about 2–3 minutes until smooth and even.
  2. Gently fold in half of your chocolate chips to the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  3. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press down firmly until smooth.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the mixture, distributing them evenly.
  5. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour until firm.
  6. Remove the bars from the pan and slice into desired size. Store extra pieces in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
