1/2 tsp chia seeds (optional)
1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-by-11-inch pan with cooking spray (I used coconut oil.)
- In a glass bowl, use an electric mixer to mix almond butter, protein powder, and maple syrup.
- Beat in the eggs, mixture will be sticky.
- With a non-stick spoon, stir in oats, coconut flakes, chia seeds and baking soda until combined evenly.
- Firmly press stiff dough into the pan using the back of a spoon or silicone spatula . . . with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until the top starts to look toasted and brown.
- Cool pan on a rack. Once cooled, cut carefully into 18 squares. Best if stored in an airtight container.
