1
Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, letting the ends extend over two of the sides. This will serve as handles for lifting the set bars out of the pan.
2
In a food processor, add the gluten-free oats and pulse until you get a fine oat flour.
3
Transfer the oat flour to a large bowl, add the cocoa powder, and plant-based protein powder. Stir until well mixed.
4
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the natural peanut butter and maple syrup. Heat in the microwave on 50% power for about a minute, or until melted. You can also warm them in a saucepan over low heat.
5
Pour the peanut butter and syrup mixture over the oat mixture. Stir until the mixture is well coated.
6
Add the unsweetened almond milk gradually, only as needed, until the mixture can hold together when pressed.
7
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it firmly so that it is evenly distributed.
8
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to set.
9
In the meantime, melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
10
Take out the protein bar mixture from the refrigerator and lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper handles. Cut into 12 rectangular bars.
11
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bars.
12
Refrigerate the bars again until the chocolate is firm. Store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.
