Ingredients
- ½ cup natural smooth peanut butter (use a clean brand, check the ingredients)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup (increase to 1/3 cup if you like it sweet)
- 1 ¼ cups oat flour (can sub almond flour)
- ½ cup Unflavored or Vanilla Grass-Fed Whey Protein Powder (or protein powder of choice)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (can sub milk of choice or water)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon of salt (leave it out if you Peanut Butter has salt in it)
Directions
Preparation: Line a 1.5-quart dish with parchment paper to ensure your protein bars come out easily without sticking.
Mixing: Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Use a spoon or spatula to blend everything thoroughly. Adjust the consistency with a little more almond milk if it's too dry or a tad more oat flour if it's too sticky.
Forming Bars: Transfer the dough to your prepared dish. Flatten it into an even layer with your fingers or a spatula. A tip to keep things mess-free: slightly wet your fingers to press the dough without sticking.
Freezing: Chill the bars in the freezer for 15-30 minutes until they're firm and set. Then, cut into 7 large bars and get ready to enjoy a delicious and nutritious, homemade snack.
Storing: Keep your perfect bars fresh by storing them in an airtight container. They'll last about 1 month in the fridge, or 2 months in the freezer, making them a convenient snack for any time.
