Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Line a loaf pan (about 8 1/2-x 4 1/2-inches) with parchment paper or greased aluminum foil, letting it slightly overhang on the sides.
• Add the peanut butter and honey to a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments just until very smooth and easy to mix. Alternatively, you can soften the mixture on the stove using a double boiler .
• Add the protein powder or oat flour, flax, vanilla, and salt (if using) to the bowl with peanut butter and honey. Stir until well mixed.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press into an even layer.
• Add the chocolate chips to a heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second increments (or use a double boiler), stirring, just until melted.
• Pour over of the peanut butter layer, making a thin, even chocolate layer on top. Sprinkle with the chopped nuts.
• Place in the fridge and chill until set, about an hour.
• Use the sides of the overhanging parchment to lift the set mixture out of the pan. Run a sharp knife under hot water, then slice into bars, running under hot water and cleaning off the knife every few slices to help make even cuts.
