Healthy Chocolate Caramel Protein Slice

Healthy Chocolate Caramel Protein Slice – a chewy, sweet, macro‑friendly bar with a soft caramel‑style centre and a rich chocolate top.

This slice layers a high‑protein oat base with a creamy caramel‑style filling made from dates, peanut butter and protein powder, then finishes with a thin chocolate layer for that classic slice feel. It’s freezer‑friendly, great for meal prep, and perfect when you want something sweet without blowing your macros.

Ingredients

Base

1½ cups quick oats
½ cup unflavoured protein powder
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp honey or maple
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
Splash of milk if needed

Caramel Layer

1 cup pitted dates (soaked if firm)
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp protein powder
1–2 tbsp milk
Pinch of salt

Chocolate Top

120 g dark chocolate
1 tsp coconut oil

Method

Line a square slice tin with baking paper.
Mix oats, protein powder, cocoa, honey and coconut oil. Add a splash of milk until mixture holds together. Press firmly into the tin.
Blend dates, peanut butter, protein powder, milk and salt until smooth and caramel‑like. Spread evenly over the base.
Melt chocolate with coconut oil and pour over the caramel layer.
Chill in the fridge for 2–3 hours or until set.
Slice into squares and store chilled or frozen.

Notes

Great freezer snack — defrosts in minutes.
Swap dates for sugar‑free caramel sauce if you want lower carbs.
Use almond butter for a lighter flavour.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a salted‑caramel vibe.
For a softer base, mix half oats / half oat flour.
