Chocolate Chip Protein Bars

Makes 15 bars

Ingredients:

2 cups oats – roasted in the oven without oil for 10-15 minutes
1 cup peanut butter (no sugar added)
1/2 cup agave (you can also use honey)
1/2 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)
2 tbsp. grain sweetened chocolate chips
1 cup whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
1 tbsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. chia seeds

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl by hand (will be thick).

Note: BE SURE your oats have cooled down completely from being roasted or they will totally melt your chocolate chips.

Spread out the batter on a cookie sheet or other baking dish.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, or until the bars are a nice golden brown color.
