Homemade Protein Bars
Description
Homemade Protein Bars are crafted by blending peanut butter, honey, ground flax seed, slightly ground rolled oats, and vanilla protein powder into a thick, dough-like mixture. The addition of mini chocolate chips provides small pockets of chocolate flavor throughout the bars. Pressing the mixture into a lined pan and chilling it helps the bars set firmly, making them easy to cut without crumbling. These bars deliver a chewy and mildly sweet consistency shaped by the combination of nut butter and oats, with protein powder enhancing the nutritional value. Perfect for preparing ahead, they can be stored chilled and enjoyed as a convenient protein snack.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Flax Seed ground
- 1 1/4 cups rolled oats slightly ground (oat flour works too
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder chocolate can be used
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, add all of the ingredients except the chocolate chips. Stir and mix ingredients until combined. The mixture should resemble cookie dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using your hands, press the mixture into the prepared pan.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes to make cutting easier. You can speed up this process by placing the bars in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Once the bars are chilled and hold their form, use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan. Evenly cut into 10 bars. Enjoy!
