Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside

In a large mixing bowl, combine protein powder and rolled oats and mix well

In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, heat up your nut butter with your syrup and heat until warm and mix together.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix very well, until combined, it may be a bit sticky and take time to mix completely together

Transfer the protein bar batter into the lined pan and press firmly into place, I used my spatula to prevent sticking to my fingers

Refrigerate until firm, and slice into bars, mine made about 14

Drizzle with optional chocolate, if desired
