Yeah you read that right triple, chocolate, and protein all in the same recipe name…sounds like heaven!
I’ve been experimenting a lot with chocolate protein powder recently and loving adding it to my oats. Also the fact that Lindt has just released a blueberry dark chocolate has got me crazy about blueberries and dark chocolate together. So I decided to combine the porridge and the Lindt chocolate idea to come come up with a delicious chocolate protein snack.
Ingredients (makes 6 bars)
3 cups of jumbo oats
1/2 cup of chocolate protein powder
1/4 cup of dark chocolate chips
1 tsp of cocoa powder
3 tbsp of honey
8 tbsp of melted coconut oil
1/3 cup blueberries
In a bowl mix the oats, protein powder, and cocoa powder together until well combined. Make a well in the middle of the oat mixture and pour in the honey and coconut oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the oats are coated with the wet mixture and it begins to clump together. Add the blueberries and chocolate chips to the bowl and stir through.
Transfer the mixture into a prepared baking ban and smooth over the top with the back of a spoon. I added extra chocolate chips and blueberries on top for some extra deliciousness.
Bake in an oven set at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Allow the bars to cool down before cutting into bars.
Protein, blueberries and chocolate…
…what more could you possible want from a snack bar?
I’ve been eating these straight from the freezer so that they have a crisper texture. However, eating them as they are means that they have a typical flapjack, crumbly oaty texture.
What ingredients do you like to put into your snack bars?
these look divine! I’m definitely going to have a go at them…when I can finally afford to buy some decent protein powder :(!! x
Thank you lovely!
What chocolate protein powder do you use please? These look yummy!
Thanks! I used Good Hemp Chocolate protein powder for these, but there are lots of different varieties out there.
They look gorgeous Jemma – I’d love to try making them with the frozen cherries you’ve got me obsessed with 😉
Haha! Hope the obsession is still going strong! 🙂
It is indeed!
Looks like both you and me have blueberries on the brain today 😀 Loving the looks of this recipe. I haven’t made snack bars in a while, but oats and chocolate are definitely musts.
I’m crazy about blueberries! Glad I’m not the only one!
These look amazing, love the flavour combo!
Thanks, blueberries and chocolate is the best!
Definitely heaven – and you couldn’t want anything else! On my after-Lent list, as is that Lindt blueberry bar… 🙂
Oh you so have to get your hands on that bar…so good!
Looks fab- I still have not managed to find the blueberry bar- I have found the strawberry one which is good.
These look so good! I definitely need to start making my own snack bars, shop bought ones can get so expensive. x
These look great, I love blueberries! I’ve been experimenting with vanilla protein powder over the past week!
What are jumbo oats? Are they just old-fashioned rolled oats? And do you cook them with water first, or are you using them dry? Thanks so much!
They are just large coarse oats that have maintained their shape when being milled. I used mine from dry and didn’t cook them beforehand 🙂
