Ingredients:

1 ½ cups rolled oats

½ cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder

¼ cup finely ground coffee or instant espresso powder

½ cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

¼ cup milk (almond, oat, or regular)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dry mix: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, protein powder, ground coffee, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

2. Melt and mix: In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the almond butter and honey until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and milk.

3. Combine: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of milk until it sticks together.

4. Add extras: Fold in dark chocolate chips if using.

5. Shape the bars: Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan. Flatten the surface with a spatula.

6. Chill and set: Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars.

7. Store: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
