Ingredients

Mint Chocolate Protein Bars

3/4 cup almond butter or cashew butter
3/4 cup brown rice cereal
1/4 cup oat flour or almond flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
1/2 teaspoon mint extract
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips

Topping (Optional)

1/2 cup melting chocolate
1 Tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

Combine the almond butter, brown rice cereal, oat flour, vanilla protein powder, mint extract, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and mini chocolate chips together in a large mixing bowl.
Mix everything together until smooth.
Pour the mixture into an 8x8" baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Use a spatula to lightly press down and smooth out the mixture until it's evenly flat.
Melt the optional melting chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave in 30-second increments, mixing in between until the chocolate is smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bar mixture.
Freeze for about 1 hour.
Lift the bars out of the baking pan using the edges of the parchment paper and set them on a cutting board.
Slice into 8-12 bars.
Store in the refrigerator and enjoy!
