Ingredients
100g Vegan Protein Powder Blend (Chocolate)
350g rolled oats
85g sunflower seeds
100g vegan chocolate chips
2 tbsp chia seeds
170g nut butter
200g honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch salt
A quarter cup of coconut oil
Method
-
First, set your oven to 160°C and then line a baking tray with baking paper.
-
Throw all the ingredients into a bowl, but hold back half of those chocolate chips. Then, with a wooden spoon, mix it all together!
-
Scoop the mixture onto your tray and press it down firmly. Place in the oven for 25 mins and once they are cooked, leave them out to cool.
-
While cooling, pop the rest of the chocolate chips into a heatproof bowl and melt them over a pan of boiling water. Pour this over your pressed mixture.
-
Pop the tray in the fridge for an hour to let it all set.
-
Once it’s firm, cut into blocks and enjoy your homemade treats!

Tips and Variations
Protein Swaps:
-
We used chocolate flavour, but both Free Soul Vanilla and Salted Caramel Vegan Protein Powder Blend would be delicious too
Nut Butter Alternatives:
-
Make these your own by using any type of nut butter you like, they’ll all work!
This recipe was put through its paces by the Free Soul team. Multiple trays were made, tested and mysteriously disappeared very quickly.
