Base for Protein Oatmeal Cookie Fudge Bars

Rolled Oats
Oat Flour – You can make your own by blending rolled oats in a high speed blender
Vanilla Protein Powder – key for the high protein oat fudge bars.
I used Vanilla protein powder here from HTLT Supps.
Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly lower carb high protein recipe.
I recommend the Multi-purpose mix protein powder from Quest Nutrition.
Coconut Flour
Almond Milk

The Protein Chocolate Fudge

Chocolate Protein Powder for high protein fudge bar, and also replace the sweetener.
I used HTLT Supps for this recipe.
Sugar free Chocolate-Nut Butter Spread/Nutella! I used the monk-fruit sweetened Nutella substitute – Suntella – from Lakanto for this oat fudge bar recipe since it’s sugar free (same code here too).
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
Almond Milk

Tips for Protein Powder Chocolate Oatmeal Fudge Bars

These protein powder oatmeal fudge bars are really easy to make – and are like that Starbucks snack too. Here’s some tips to get it right!

Use whey-caesin protein powder since it works well with the ratio of ingredients here.
If you use a whey protein powder, you might want to reduce the amount of milk to make it less.

Mix the base layer well to form a smooth mixture, but don’t over-mix since the protein powder might make the texture tough.
It should be like a dough.

Taste dough for sweetness; Add powdered sweetener or stevia if needed

Make sure the protein chocolate fudge layer is thick but spreadable. Add milk little at a time so it doesn’t get too runny.
