PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL PROTEIN BARS



Peanut Butter Oatmeal Protein Bars image

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.

PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE PROTEIN BARS image

Categories     Chocolate

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Cup Natural Peanut Butter
3 Tablespoons agave syrup, or to taste
1 1/2 cups Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
1 Cup Uncooked Oats
5-6 Tablespoons water
1 Tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Mix the peanut butter and honey in a bowl,microwave for 30 seconds. Add the rest of ingredients and mix together. Mixture should be crumbly and slightly moist. Press (hard) into a 9x9 tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cut into 12 equal bars.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peanut butter. Not all peanut butter is created equal. For the best results, use a natural peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or oil.
  • Use a variety of oats. This will give your bars a more interesting texture and flavor. You can use old-fashioned oats, quick oats, or even steel-cut oats.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins. There are endless possibilities when it comes to mix-ins. Some popular options include chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, and seeds.
  • Don't overcook the bars. Overcooked bars will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are set in the center.
  • Chill the bars before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and make them easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter protein bars are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and they can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own peanut butter protein bars at home.
