Delicious & Healthy Protein Bars
These chewy and naturally sweetened homemade protein bars are delicious and filling for any snack or quick pick me up!
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats or quick oats
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup honey raw
- 1 cup flax seed ground
- 1 cup vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup cranberries
- ½ cup raisins
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add all the ingredients together. Stir until well blended.
- Spread the mixture into a 9x13 pan and refrigerate for a few hours or freeze for 30 minutes. You can also use a 9x9 pan, which would make much thicker bars.
- Cut bars into desired size (usually 1.5-2 inch squares) and store in an airtight container in the fridge. These bars can be refrigerated for 1-2 weeks or frozen for later use.
Notes
There is no limit to what add-ins you choose. Chopped dates, pepita seeds, white chocolate chips, dried cherries, etc.
Make these bars with creamy natural peanut butter. The mixture will stir together much easier.
Have your honey be in liquid state for better mixing results.
Make sure to use ground flax seed. Whole flax is not as digestible and will not absorb into the bars as well.
