What\u2019s not to love about these bars? Plus, they are vegan-friendly, full of healthy fats, gluten-free and a great pre or post workout snack, afternoon treat with a cup of tea or even a tasty dessert option.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

These bars were made one afternoon where I craved something chocolate-y and peanut butter-y \u2013 like most afternoons, I must add! Instead of simply dipping a chocolate bar into a jar of peanut butter, I thought I\u2019d get a little more inventive. So I set about creating a recipe that was as healthy and protein packed for those on the go as it was delicious and indulgent, and I think these Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Flapjack Bars are the perfect balance\u00a0between the two.<\/p>\n

Plus they are raw, meaning less time in the kitchen, with maximum nutrition, enjoyment and pleasure in the eating process.<\/p>\n

The base is a protein and peanut butter take on a flapjack with oats, lots of peanut butter (you can try another nut butter with equally great results or use a seed butter if you are nut-free), a little syrup for sweetness and stickiness plus some vanilla protein powder (you can skip this and add the same amount of oats but bear in mind the protein content will differ) and milk to help bind the bars. Squidge the mix down and allow to set while you make the chocolate ganache\u2026<\/p>\n

The chocolate topping could not be simpler: melt down some chocolate and stir in some almond milk and syrup until a luscious, thick and creamy ganache forms \u2013 it works every time. Pour over the base and drop spoonfuls of peanut butter on top, drag through a knife and create some impressive patterns.<\/p>\n

The hardest part of these Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Flapjack Bars is allowing them to set in the fridge but I assure you it will be worth it!<\/p>\n

Offer these bites as dessert to guests, to friends before or after working out together, enjoy them in the afternoon for a chocolatey moment of bliss and snack on them on the go throughout the day.<\/p>\n

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Flapjack Bars are packed with protein and fibre in the base as well as healthy fats, chocolatey goodness and the best texture: thick and chewy gluten free and vegan flapjack with a melting, soft and smooth chocolate ganache. They take 10 minutes to make and 1-2 hours to set in the fridge and come together with minimal washing up.<\/p>\n
