This procedure applies to whichever version of protein bar you choose to make.

Get your ingredients ready.

In a small bowl, combine flour (or meal) and protein powder.

Have the tablespoon of butter at hand.

Pour the IMO syrup into a small microwave-safe bowl (or a ramekin).

In a microwave, nuke the syrup on high for 20 seconds.

Take the bowl with the hot syrup out of the microwave and immediately mix in the nut butter (use a spoon).

While the mixture is still hot, mix in the flour-protein mix.

Feel free to add in some spices at this point.

I love adding ½ tsp.

of matcha green tea powder, especially with the coconut version.

The mixture will probably be crumbly and should also be sticky.

Put it on a kitchen foil, cover it with more foil, and use your hands to shape one or two bars.

If you desire, add some dark chocolate bits or crushed nuts.

Place the bars in the fridge.

You can eat one straight away or microwave it for 20 seconds (in this case it will inflate a bit and get soft.

You can add some whipped cream, and eat the bar as a dessert).
