For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips. If your protein powder is unflavored, consider adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the mixture. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Follow The Directions
01
StepLine an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on all sides to make it easy to remove the bars from the pan. Set aside. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined, forming a smooth, thick mixture. (5 minutes)
03
StepPress the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Ensure the surface is flat and compact. (2 minutes)
04
StepIn a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. (2 minutes)
05
StepPour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter protein mixture in the pan. Spread evenly to create a smooth chocolate layer. (1 minute)
06
StepRefrigerate the pan until the bars are firm and the chocolate has set, approximately 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

StepOnce set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 8 equal-sized bars and serve. (3 minutes)

Jun 27, 2025I've made these a few times now, and they're always a hit. I sometimes add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate for an extra touch.
