PEANUT BUTTER AND JAM (PBJ) OATMEAL PROTEIN BARS
I was created this bar because I was looking for something really yummy yet healthy to eat before I go running early in the morning. I needed something with a bit less sugar and carbs and a bit more protein than usual. This bar is also high in fiber, lignans, and omega 3 fats. I used thick rolled oats, not quick oats because they digest slower (lower GI) and ultimately keep your blood sugar nice and steady and hunger at bay. I also use a reduced sugar jam, you could also try a sugar free jam. I really love PBJ so I used a PBJ bar recipe and totally mixed it up and made it healthy and higher in protein. Not too sweet and so filling! Enjoy!

PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL PROTEIN BARS
Tasty bars that pack a bunch of protein into a tiny yet satisfying bar. Great for recovery from a workout, a quick breakfast or snack, or on a hike. Easy to make gluten-free by using GF oats and oat flour. If you don't have oat flour, try pulverizing 50g of rolled oats in a food processor until they form a coarse flour consistency - works just as well.
