Instructions
- Line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, mashed banana, vanilla extract, protein powder, flax meal, gluten-free cook-cooking oats, crispy rice cereal, and sea salt until well mixed. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Press the mixture very firmly into the prepared baking dish.
- Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.

For the optional chocolate drizzle:

Notes
*We call for quick-cooking oats because they help these no-bake bars hold together better. But you can also If use old-fashioned oats – just pulse them in a food processor first to break the old-fashioned oats into small pieces.
