Subscribed, great thread.

This recipe was the first one I tried from here and it was so good that I dont have the desire to try any others. The taste is awesome and it's a good solid bar texture. Thanks to whomever posted it, too lazy to go back and find the person. I have made these 3 times now. The only words of advice I give is to play around with the broiling a bit. That's what really hardens them up into bars. I think that about 2 minutes on the far rack from the broiler is about right. Then I take them out and flip them over and give them another 2 minutes on the other side. But be very careful, it's easy to burn them. Just hafta watch them closely.


ID Cereal Protein Bars


1/2-3/4c. honey
1/2 c. natty peanut butter
1/2 cup water **I added a bit more**
2 c. Rice Krispies, corn flakes, ect. **I used corn flakes**
1-2c Oats (rolled)
1 tsp. vanilla
*6 scoops chocolate protein (100% ON, to be exact)
1/2 cup of splenda

Brought the water, honey, splenda to a boil. Added the PB, and lowered to a simmer. Threw the oats and cereal in a bowl. Take the liquide off of the stove when the PB is melted into the mixture, and add vanilla. Mix the liquid into the dry ingrediants, put in a baking tray and put under broiler for 1 minute.

Emily?s Protein Bar Recipe:

-5 scoops of whey
(Chocolate for brownie-bars, Cinnamon oatmeal is great too!)
-1 package sugar free/fat free instant pudding mix
(Chocolate or vanilla depending)
-1 tsp baking powder
-1/3 cup oat flour (can use oats; just grind them up in a blender)
-3/4 c skim milk
-I usually add maybe ? c. granular splenda, or stevia/cinnamon/sugar free chocolate sauce for extra sweetness and flavor. Can also add a tablespoon of cocoa powder if you want really chocolaty brownie bars!

Pour into 9x9 square baking pan. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes depending on the kind of protein used, 20 minutes might be a little too long. Check at 15 minutes with toothpick in center. Cut into four equal sized pieces and enjoy with sugar free syrup/peanut butter/almond butter or milk!

Just tried this. They are good, but I found this was waaay too much honey. Next time I might try 1/4c, or less.

[forthays]

Ya that much honey makes it pretty sweet but I like it. Eventually I'll reduce the amount of honey when I start cutting but in the meantime I'm ok with the extra calories.

So I made it to page 12 without finding what suited my bill so I gave up and will just post here:

Anyone have any suggestion for a EASY TO MAKE (ie, mix and bake is about all I can do hah), non-gooey (want to use during class) bars that I can make?

I have in my place (just listing anything I have that I've seen posted):

-Rolled oats (and a...blender that sorta can powder them)
-Whey
-PB (not natural...but I'm okay with that..)
-Honey
-Butter
-Olive oil
-Milk
-Nestle chocolate syrup

Suggestions more than welcome

Hmm i tried following the basic recipe on the first post "For Cutting": whey, milk, oats (minus the fat free pudding) design as it was my first time making the bars. I allowed them to set over night in the freezer and cut them into pieces. During the day i put them into aluminum foil and moved them to my fridge - only to find out that they are melting and turning back into the "paste" texture.

Obviously this isnt right but im not quite sure what ive done wrong =/ any suggestions??

Why do some people cook the bars in the oven do they keep solid in this way ?
as i always mix mine in the freezer without cooking i wrap each bar individually and when i wont one i just take it out 15 minutes before i eat so it comes soft
would cooking them keep them solid without melting like when frozen ?

Yeah this is basically the same problem i always get.. the things melt even if they stay in the fridge! frikken annoying

[hockeyplaya13]

Reviving this a bit the a quick ? As far as baking goes, can you just bake anything? Like could I potentially take any of the recipes on here and pop them in the oven at like 325 for a bit (keeping an eye on them)? I'm not too keen on the refridgerated bars because the only real reason I want protein bars is to take with me on Tues/Thurs when I'm out of my dorm from basically 11-6. I I have to eat somehwere in beween there and would like to be able to carry something that won't melt and become a gooey mess, or be messy to eat. I'd like something that will taste fine at room temp, and will be dr, like a cooked brownie would. So could I take just about any of these and bake 'em?

Sorry I'm not much of a cooker, just a 19 yr old boy I'm gettin there though.
Thanks!

[ryanoakes]

Hi guys,

I saw that main ingredient of bought protein bars is powdered egg white. I looked up and it has 81 grams of protein on 100 grams and its twice cheaper than protein powders. Catch is its far from instant shake. I bought 4 kg just for making protein bars. So far I got one BIG bread when I tried to bake it and sticky mass when made with PB without baking. I will keep testing and post here. Just interested does any one have some idea how to use it? Or replace it with protein powder?

Thanks

[fregs79]

Just made my first batch and they came out pretty good! Nice and solid!

I used the muffin mix from SuperDavid

forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=43053251#post43053251

Not masses of flavour but enough for what i need.

As a fair few people have been asking it seems that the best way to keep bars together is to bake them in some shape or form.

...try egg whites

I did the following only once
It's not really a protein bar but its portable

pressed cottage cheese (87% protein) - 250 g
egg white - 1.5 cups
whey - 1.5 scoops
chopped peanuts - 50 g

I wasn't aiming for low carbs (I ate this with fruit), I suppose you can try mixing in a high qty or peanut butter.

bake on low heat at about 300F for 30-45 mins. I covered mine with metal foil. It started to puff out a bit so I reduced the heat. I have pretty weird tastes but I really liked the end result, I think the trick is not to overcook.

The key is the egg white of course as it will just bind and hold whatever you put into it.
If your aim is to just make something portable however, I would try tuna+eggs in a frying pan. Makes a great burger-type patty, and if you eat it without the bread you get the low carb version =D
