Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add peanut butter, maple syrup, protein powder, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Stir with a rubber spatula until it forms a dough that comes into a ball. It shouldn't be dry or too sticky. If too dry, add 1 tablespoon of plant-based milk and stir it in. If too wet, add more protein powder to firm it up.
Press the dough into a even layer into the prepared loaf pan.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil for 30 seconds in the microwave. Stir and repeat until fully melted.
Pour on top of the bar and tilt the pan to spread it evenly.
Sprinkle some plant-based sprinkles on top to decorate.
Pop the loaf pan in the freezer for 12 minutes to set the chocolate layer hard, then cut it with a long sharp knife into bars.
Notes
Storage: Store the bars in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
