EASY PROTEIN BARS



Easy Protein Bars image

I love these protein bars! They are quick, easy and cheap. They come out a little soft, but if you freeze them you get a more bar-like consistency. Tastes so much better than the chalky protein bars you buy for $3!

Time 1h

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup quick-cooking oats
½ cup skim milk
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup almond butter
1 tablespoon honey, or more to taste
2 small very ripe bananas
1 cup vanilla protein powder (such as Vi-SHAPE®)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cup(s) gluten-free rolled oats, blended into a flour
1/2 cup(s) unsweetened/unflavoured vegan protein powder
1/2 cup(s) rice crisp cereal
1/4-1/2 teaspoon(s) fine grain sea salt, to taste
1/2 cup(s) natural peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter
1/2 cup(s) pure maple syrup (or liquid sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoon(s) mini dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Line an 8-inch square pan with a piece of parchment paper. Mix the oat flour, protein powder, rice crisp, and salt together in a large bowl. Add in the nut/seed butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir well to combine. If the mixture is a bit dry, add a splash of non-dairy milk and mix again.
  • Press into pan and roll out with a pastry roller until smooth. Pop into the freezer. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a small pot over low heat. When half of the chips have melted, remove from heat and stir until smooth.
  • After freezing the bars for about 5-10 minutes, remove from freezer and slice into bars. Drizzle with melted chocolate and freeze again until set. Store in the freezer for a week or longer in an air-tight freezer bag or container.
