Homemade Protein Bars

Seems the recipe for these bad-boys has been floating around the internet forever. I whipped up a batch this morning and couldn't help eating the mixture along the way, it's damn tasty!

I got 8 bars out of this batch and let me tell you they are filling! At first I thought they might be a bit crumbly (too much protein powder) but after cooling seem fine.

Simple recipe that can be easily modified with other ingredients depending on your tastes or dietary requirements (nut allergy, gluten content, sugars, protein:carb:fat ratio etc).

Get it inta ya!!





Ingredients:
1 cup of natural peanut butter
8 tablespoons of honey
1.25 cups of protein powder (flavoured is fine, my Max's Hydroxyphase is Mochachino...)
1 cup of oats

Process:
Mix the peanut butter and honey in a bowl, microwave on high for 70-80 seconds (to warm up and makes the mixture runny).

Add the protein powder and oats, mix it all together (best to use your hands if it isn't too hot).

Smooth into a baking tray and leave to cool for 20 minutes before cutting into bars. Wrap the bars in glad wrap or baking paper and store in the fridge.
