Seitan Double Chocolate Protein Bars

1 cup vital wheat gluten
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or soy flour)
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup Vitasoy Protein Enriched Rice milk (or soy or you could use normal if vegetarian)
1/4 cup water (but I forgot to put this in!!)
A handful or 2 of chocolate chips (Cadbury dark one's are Vegan)

Baked at 350 for about 50 minutes. Put all dry ingredients into a medium sized bowl (including choc chips). In a separate bowl put rice milk (and water).In a 3rd small bowl put peanut butter and melt in microwave for about 30 seconds (I don't know if this is necessary but I wanted to mix it well with the milk), pour into milk (and water mixture) and whisk until mixed.Pour wet into dry and stir until a dough forms. Knead for a second and put into a foil lined pan (I used a loaf tin, also leave an overhang over the sides) and cover with edges of foil.Bake for 30-40 minutes (mine took 40 but it will depend on size of tin and thickness of bar).Remove and let cool, then cut into bar(I pressed it into a foil-lined 9x9 pan, then folded the edges of the foil back over the top to cover, so if you make a log or other shape, baking time may vary.)
