Homemade Protein Bars

I did a web search and found this recipe. I have not tried these but they were marked with 5 stars.

Ingredients:

  • 1 mashed banana
  • 1 1/2 cups dry oatmeal
  • 2 Tbsp. flax seed, ground
  • 2-4 scoops protein powder
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 large chocolate bar (I used organic dark chocolate) or 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Mix all ingredients but chocolate together well (mixture will be somewhat sticky). Line an 8x8-inch pan with foil and spread the mixture evenly in the pan. Melt chocolate on the stove or in the microwave. Drizzle or spread over the mixture in the pan.

Place the pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Cut into 10 -12 bars and wrap in plastic wrap and/or foil and store in the freezer. Thaw slightly before serving.

1/10th of this recipe = approximately 260 calories and 11 to 13 grams of protein (depending upon how much protein powder you use, per Calorie Count.)

Servings: 10 -12 bars
Prep Time: 2 Hours
Cooking Time: 0 Minutes
