We love discovering new ways to use our pancake mixes beyond the griddle. These Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Snack Bars quickly became a go-to in our kitchen — especially on busy mornings or afternoons when we want something satisfying but not overly sweet.

Not quite a cookie or a brownie, these bars land somewhere in between: soft-set, chewy, and nourishing, with just enough richness from peanut butter to keep them from feeling dry or “protein-y.” We bake them gently to ensure great texture and proper cooking, then slice them into snackable pieces that are easy to grab and enjoy throughout the week. They’re a great example of how our mixes can be used creatively — not just for pancakes, but for everyday, protein-packed meals and snacks.

Whether you enjoy them as a quick breakfast, a post-workout bite, or a midday pick-me-up, these bars are designed to fuel your day and leave room to make them your own.
