Notes
This recipe is gluten free since it uses oats.
I like to use Purely Inspired Organic Protein powder, however, feel free to use whatever suites you or you can substitute more powdered peanut butter.
This recipe was not tested with honey as the sweetener, however I am sure it would work as well.
I used chopped raw almonds, but any nut or mixed nuts would be fine.
Do not over bake and do not forget to stir. It will get burned on the edges and not taste right.
