CHOCOLATE COATING
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions
- First, line a standard bread pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, protein powder, and oats. Stir until a thick mixture forms.
- Press this down into the lined pan.

- Finally, slice into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- Use all natural creamy peanut butter made from only peanuts and salt.
- Use parchment paper to easily lift the bars out of the pan.
