These bars are seriously my new favorite post or pre workout snack!
Ingredients:
1/2 Cup Oats
1/4 Cup All-Bran Cereal - Bran Flakes would probably work too
1 Scoop Chocolate Casein Protein Powder - Or Whey Powder
1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
1/4 Cup Chopped Plain Peanuts
1 Tablespoon Cacao Powder
1 Tablespoon Raw Cinnamon Honey - I used YS Eco Bee Farms Cinnamon Honey because I'm currently obsessed with it, but you can add a 1/4 teaspoon of Cinnamon if you don't have this.
1/4 Cup Cold Coffee or Espresso
1/8 Cup Almond Milk - Or milk of your choice
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
1/8 Cup Raw Cacao Nibs - Or Chopped Dark Chocolate
1/2 Cup Oats
1/4 Cup All-Bran Cereal - Bran Flakes would probably work too
1 Scoop Chocolate Casein Protein Powder - Or Whey Powder
1/4 Cup Peanut Butter
1/4 Cup Chopped Plain Peanuts
1 Tablespoon Cacao Powder

1/4 Cup Cold Coffee or Espresso
1/8 Cup Almond Milk - Or milk of your choice
2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
1/8 Cup Raw Cacao Nibs - Or Chopped Dark Chocolate
Directions:
Mix all dry ingredients together by hand except the cacao nibs. Melt the honey and the peanut butter together and pour over dry mixture, then add coconut oil, coffee and almond milk. If the bars still seem too dry at this point, pour a little more milk or coffee into the mixture. The texture should be a bit dryer than cookie dough, but not completely crumbling apart. Finally, add the cacao nibs, and press bar dough into a 3 Cup rectangular dish lined with parchment paper. Ideally, refrigerate over night (If you can wait that long ;) and enjoy the next day for a protein packed snack. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or longer if kept in the freezer.
Makes 10-12 Mini Protein Bars
