Instructions

To adjust flavor, start with the higher amounts of protein powder and maple syrup for a dessert-like taste, or use lesser amounts for a snack-style bar.
Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, using a wooden spoon until well mixed. If too dry, use hands to help combine.
If too wet, gradually add protein powder until the mixture is firm enough to shape into a rectangle.
Shape the mixture on parchment paper to create a 4”x7” rectangle.
Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted.
Drizzle melted chocolate over the rectangle and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top.
Cut into bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

Taste the mixture before shaping and adjust sweetness by mixing in more syrup if desired, but be cautious not to overmix.
Store in the refrigerator if made with the higher amounts of ingredients to maintain firmness.
Let frozen bars sit at room temperature briefly before serving for ideal texture.
