How to make Twix Protein Bars

Twix protein bars are a delicious no-bake treat inspired by the classic candy bar, but made with a more nourishing twist. A chewy oat and protein base is layered with creamy peanut butter caramel and finished with a smooth dark chocolate shell. They are perfect for meal prep, afternoon cravings, or a sweet snack that feels indulgent while adding protein.

1. 1Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. 2In a bowl, mix the oat flour, protein powder, almond butter, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until a firm dough forms.
3. 3Press the dough evenly into the lined pan to create the base layer.
4. 4Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes while you make the caramel layer.
5. 5In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
6. 6Spread the caramel mixture evenly over the chilled base.
7. 7Return the pan to the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes until the caramel is firm.
8. 8Melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth.
9. 9Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread it evenly.
10. 10Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or until fully set.
11. 11Lift the bars from the pan and slice into squares or rectangles.
12. 12Serve chilled for the best texture.

Tips for the best result

• Use parchment paper with overhang so the bars lift out easily
• Press the base firmly so it slices cleanly
• Freeze the caramel layer before adding chocolate to keep the layers neat
• Use a warm knife for cleaner cuts through the chocolate
• Store the bars chilled so the caramel stays firm
