Ingredients

For the Base:

1 cup rolled oats (or oat flour for smoother texture)
½ cup plant-based or whey protein powder (vanilla or coconut flavor works best)
¼ cup almond butter
¼ cup maple syrup or honey
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup water or milk (as needed to bind)
For the Coconut Layer:

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tbsp maple syrup or powdered erythritol (for low-carb option)
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
Optional Toppings:

Sugar-free chocolate drizzle
Sliced almonds or extra coconut flakes

Instructions

In a bowl, mix oats, protein powder, almond butter, syrup, coconut oil, and salt. Add water or milk as needed to form a thick, sticky dough.
Press half of the mixture into the bottom of an 8×8-inch lined dish.
In another bowl, mix shredded coconut, syrup, and coconut oil. Spread evenly over the base.
Top with remaining oat mixture, pressing down firmly.
Optional: Drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate or sprinkle with extra coconut or sliced almonds.
Chill in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours before slicing into bars.
