Plant-Powered Oat Protein Bars (Vegan+GF)

Instead of shelling out the cash for a bunch of protein bars for your week, try making a more whole-food version based on some really cheap staples.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Servings 8 bars

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 2 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup hemp hearts
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 cup powdered peanut butter
  • 1 large banana
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup mini dairy-free semisweet chocolate chip

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, blend the banana, vanilla, and chickpeas until smooth. scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl and stir in the baking powder, powdered peanut butter, cinnamon, and hemp hearts. Add in the oats and chocolate and stir until combined.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment. Pour the mixture into the pan and spread evenly with a spatula. Bake them for 35 - 45 minutes (depending on your oven) until the edges start to turn golden.
  3. Cool the bars completely and then cut into 8 equal-ish bars and you've got some great on-the-go snacks. Store extras in an air-tight container in the fridge.
