In a large bowl, mix protein powder, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
½ cup vegan chocolate protein powder, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
Add peanut butter and maple syrup, then stir until a dough forms.
¾ cup creamy peanut butter, ¼ cup pure maple syrup
Press the mixture firmly into a rectangular storage container lined with parchment paper (mine was 4.3 × 6.3 inches / 11 × 16 cm).
¼ cup dairy-free chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil, pour it over the base, and spread evenly. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, then slice and enjoy.
Notes
Adjust the texture as needed: The dough should be soft and easy to handle. If it feels too dry, add a little water. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more protein powder.
Press firmly: When shaping the mixture, press it down really well into the container. This helps the bars hold together and gives that perfect fudgy bite.
Use a hot knife for clean slices: Run your knife under hot water, dry it, then slice for neat, bakery-style bars.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
