• Line a 8 x 8-inch baking pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.

  In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats,rice cereal, coconut, almond butter, protein powder, honey and milk.

  Mix until well combined.

  The mixture should be slightly sticky butfirm enough to press into a pan. If it’s too dry, add a splash of milk; if toowet, add a little more oats.

  Taste-test and adjust sweetness ifnecessary.

  Press the mixture into the lined dish,ensuring an even layer.

  Once melted, pour on top of bar base and top with flaky salt, crushed peanuts or your choice of topping.

  Place in fridge for chocolate to set.
