Peanut Butter Protein Bars

Hello! Yesterday I made some peanut butter protein bars that came out great so I’m sharing the recipe. I love when I create a healthy snack that I can make again since I have all the ingredients at home already. They can be made gluten free and vegan if you use gf/plant protein powder.

This morning I had a really good run. I’m also going to start the 21 day fix workouts to compliment my running for the next 3 weeks. I tried out a few of the Beach Body workouts (there are so many options) and decided to start the 21 day series from Day 1 and do it all the way through since it’s designed in a series (I was going to jump around). One of the upper strength workouts made me perfectly sore last week, love that.

Peanut Butter Protein Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup PB
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cups protein powder
  • 2/3 – 3/4 cup almond milk ( to get to thick batter consistency)
  • 1/4 cup honey or sweetener of your choice
  • 1/2 tsp each: salt, baking soda, vanilla

Directions: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients. Pour into 8×8 baking pan sprayed with non-stick. Bake for 20 minutes or until set. Let cool and cut into squares or bars.  Refrigerate leftovers.

Tip: If they are not sweet enough put a little jam on them for a great PB&J style bar. I went light on the sweetener on the first batch and it needed a tiny bit of something. If your protein powder is on the sweeter side you will probably be good.
