Mint Chocolate Protein Bars are no-bake, high-protein snacks that deliver the indulgent flavor of mint and chocolate in a healthy, energizing form. These easy bars are perfect for post-workout fuel, meal prep, or anytime you want a sweet, nutritious boost.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 cup rolled oats or 3/4 cup oat flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or other nut/seed butter)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 2–4 tbsp milk (dairy or non-dairy, as needed for texture)
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or melted dark chocolate (for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine protein powder, oats (or oat flour), and cocoa powder.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix almond butter, honey or maple syrup, peppermint extract, and 2 tbsp milk.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms. Add more milk as needed to bring the mixture together.
  4. Press the dough into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan, smoothing the surface.
  5. Melt the dark chocolate and pour over the top, spreading evenly.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  7. Once set, slice into 8–10 bars and store for easy snacking.

Notes

  • Add chia seeds, flax meal, or shredded coconut for extra nutrition and texture.
  • Use sugar-free syrup or reduce honey to lower the sugar content.
  • Swap almond butter for peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter.
  • For vegan bars, use plant-based protein and maple syrup.
  • If skipping the chocolate topping, fold mini chocolate chips into the dough instead.
