3.Pour the almond butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated and combined.

4.Fold in the chopped almonds, chopped walnuts, and mini dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

5.Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

7.Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and firm up.

8.Once set, lift the bars out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares or rectangles as desired.

9.Store the protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
