These no-bake energy squares are a delightful and healthy snack option, perfect for a quick energy boost.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond butter and honey until smooth.
Warming the almond butter slightly can make it easier to mix.
Add the oats, chia seeds, and protein powder to the almond butter mixture and stir until well combined.
Ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly coated with the almond butter mixture.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9x9-inch pan to create an even layer.
Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press the mixture down evenly.
Let the mixture set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then cut into 16 squares.
For cleaner cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts.
Store the squares in an airtight container for easy snacking.
Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
