Ingredients
- 1 c. cashews
- 2 c. old-fashioned or rolled oats
- ¼ c. brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. chia seeds
- 2 scoops of protein powder (I used vanilla)
- ¼ c. unsweetened coconut flakes (more if you like coconut)
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- ¼ c. milk (can use dairy free)
- 3-4 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
- ½ c. chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the cashews and pulse lightly. Then, add the oats, brown sugar, chia seeds, protein powder, and coconut flakes. Again, pulse together. Next, add the vanilla, honey, milk, coconut oil, and chocolate chips. Start with 3 Tbsp of coconut oil. Pulse until mixed and mixture feels wet and sticks together when pressed. If needed, add another Tbsp. of coconut oil.
- Press oats into a lined 8x8 baking dish, lined with parchment paper. Use fingers and/or the bottom of a measuring cup to press the oats down. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Finally, cut and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in the fridge.
