Perfect Bar Recipe: Homemade Copycat with Zero Chalkiness

Instructions:

1. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the creamy peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt until completely smooth and emulsified.
3. Sift in the oat flour and vanilla protein powder to avoid clumps. Add the ground flaxseed and stir until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
4. Fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press into an even, firm layer using a flat-bottomed glass or spatula.
6. Place the pan in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the oats to hydrate and the bars to set.
7. Lift the parchment paper to remove the block and slice into 10 rectangular bars with a sharp knife.
