Christmas time this year I was looking for a quick, healthy recipe to make for my family this year. I took to google and looked up protein bar recipes. This is one that stood out to me as something different that I should try. So I did, and they turned out pretty good.
If you want to try to make these yourself here is the ingredient list:
- ½ cup peanut or almond butter
- ? cup blue agave or honey
- 1 cup instant rolled oats
- ¼ cup chocolate protein powder
- ¼ cup flaxseed
- ½ cup raspberries
and the directions:
- Mix peanut butter and agave or honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until a consistent, smooth texture.
- Take off heat and pour in oats, protein and flaxseed. Stir until totally combined. Finally, fold in raspberries.
- Spread into a (5×9 inch) loaf pan and press down so it’s a flat. Place in freezer for 1 hour.
- After an hour, take out bars from freezer and cut into long bars (or squares). Using wax or parchment paper to separate the bars, place in a plastic air-tight container in the refrigerator. Can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
Not too many people ate these; it’s tough to compete with pie and chocolate!
That’s ok though, more for me at home now…
