- ¾ cup protein powder 90 g
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey
- ½ tsp salt

Instructions
- Combine peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, and salt in a mixing bowl until a thick dough forms.
- If it’s too dry, add a little maple syrup or water until smooth.
- Press the mixture evenly into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan or shape it into individual bars.
