Ingredients
 

  • 2½ cups (254 g) old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup (54 g) chopped or slivered almonds
  • 1 cup (85 g) coconut flakes
  • ½ cup (54 g) protein powder I use clean simple eats vanilla
  • ½ tsp (0.5 teaspoon) cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt
  • ⅓ cup (78.86 ml) maple syrup
  • ¼ cup (59.15 ml) neutral oil I use coconut
  • ⅓ cup (76 g) creamy peanut butter I've also used almond butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • flaked salt for topping
  • ½ cup (87.5 g) chopped chocolate, dried fruit etc

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix oats, almonds, coconut, protein powder, cinnamon and salt together in a medium size bowl.
  • In a seperate bowl or large measuring cup combine maple syrup, coconut oil, and nut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds and then whisk until completely combined and smooth. Add in the vanilla.
  • Add warm liquid mixture to dry oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
  • Spread onto the baking sheet and press together so that it's almost one large piece. Sprinkled with flaked salt.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before touching it. This will help keep large chunks.
  • Once it's completely cool top with chocolate chunks and or dried fruit, and break into pieces.

Notes

I love little bits of chocolate and dried cherries in mine. But feel free to omit all together or add whatever you have on hand.
This tastes great with almond butter as well.
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, but either are just fine.
