Protein Bar Recipe

After posting pictures of my homemade protein bars last night, I had quite a few recipe requests! So here it is :) I used homemade almond butter in mine!

 

Protein Bars

Ingredients

¼ c organic cane sugar

¼ c water

½ c Almond Butter (preferably homemade – no added sugar/oil/salt)

1c water

½ c vanilla protein powder

1tbs vanilla extract

1tsp dark chocolate cocoa powder

½ tsp cinnamon

1 ½ c quick oats

¼ c flax meal

¼ c raisins

Loaf Pan

Saran/Cling Wrap

Directions

In small sauce pan, whisk together cane sugar and ¼ c water over high heat. Bring to a boil; once all sugar is dissolved, turn off heat and set aside.

In medium sauce pan, whisk together almond butter and 1c water over medium heat. Once combined, add protein powder, vanilla, cocoa powder and cinnamon and whisk thoroughly. Add cane sugar syrup and again whisk until combined. Mixture should be gooey but pourable. If necessary, thin with additional water or thicken with additional protein (small amounts at a time!)

Combine oats, flax and raisins in large bowl. Pour almond butter sauce over oats and combine with spatula or spoon.

Line loaf pan with saran wrap and pour mixture into pan, pressing firmly into all sides. Cover with wrap, pressing directly onto mixture and refrigerate overnight.

Once set, flip pan over to remove mixture, peel off plastic wrap and slice – mine made 10 bars.
