Instructions

Line a 6-inch baking pan with lightly oiled parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk oat flour, powdered peanut butter, and vanilla protein powder.
Add maple syrup and soy milk. Use a rubber spatula to combine and form a dough. If too dry, add a little more milk. If too runny, add more protein powder until it forms a soft dough.
Press the dough into a single, even layer in the pan.
In a glass microwave-safe bowl, add dark chocolate and melt in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and shiny.
Spread evenly on top of the bar.
Pop the pan 8-10 minutes in the freezer until the chocolate layer is set, but still soft and easy to cut through.
Transfer the bar to a chopping board and cut into 4 bars using a sharp knife. To harden the chocolate layer even more, pop it back in the freezer for a few minutes.
Store the bar in the fridge for up to 1 week, in an airtight container. They get too soft at room temperature.

Notes

Note 1: Or almond flour up but you will have to reduce soy milk to 1/3 cup, or the bars are too soft.

Note 2: Or chocolate powdered peanut butter for a chocolate protein bar.

Note 3: Or any milk you like, I love soy milk because it adds more protein than almond milk.

Note 4: Or chocolate protein powder, the recipe measurements are for pea protein powder; other protein powders might absorb more liquid and require more or less milk to firm up the dough.

Note 5: Or sugar-free maple syrup to cut down calories.

Note 6: Skip the chocolate layer on top to cut down calories per bar.

Storage: You must store the bars in the fridge, or they get too soft at room temperature. Store them for up to 1 week.
