If you’re craving something sweet but still want to stay on track with your training goals, this Salted Caramel Protein Bars recipe delivers the ultimate treat.
Every crunchy, chocolatey bar is made with wholesome ingredients and packed with protein — the perfect post-workout snack or mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 100g dark chocolate
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ½ cup runny nut butter (such as peanut or almond butter)
- 1 scoop Biogen Complete Whey, Salted Caramel flavour
Biogen Complete Whey is a delicious, high protein shake that contains a precise blend of high biological value, fast and slower digesting proteins. The ideal ratio of whey, casein, milk protein concentrate, and plant proteins, in this product provides a timed-release formulation with a superior amino acid profile that allows for optimum nitrogen retention. This is the perfect solution for active individuals looking to supplement their diet with additional compact protein throughout the day.
How to make it
- Spread the pats onto parchment paper and bake or air-fry at 180°C until crispy. This gives your bars that satisfying crunch.
- In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt together the dark chocolate, coconut oil, and nut butter until smooth. Stir in the whey until fully combined.
- Fold the crispy oats into the chocolate mixture, then pour into moulds or a lined dish. Smooth out the top and refrigerate or freeze until firm.
- Once set, slice into bars and store in the fridge.
- Enjoy as a healthy, high-protein snack anytime you need an energy boost!
