"NO BAKE" Homemade Protein Bars - Macros Included.

[Siafu4Life]

Made these bad-boys (just made my second batch today...in the freezer as we speak), a couple days ago, and they turned out alright. Figured I'd share the recipe. They're nothing fancy...but don't take too long to make, and no baking is necessary.

What you'll need:

1 - 9x9 (or similar size) glass baking dish.
1 - Can of spray Pam (or whatever it is you use).
(2) Cups Rolled Oats.
(4) Scoops (132 grams) Protein Powder. I used the ON Casein (Chocolate and Peanut Butter).
1/4 Cup (4 Tablespoons) Peanut Butter (I used natty).
1/3 Cup Milk (I used 1/2%. Can use a full cup, I just used 2/3 cup water).
2/3 Cup Water.

No special tricks as to how you mix it...just throw it all in a bowl, and start mixing. I had to get my hands dirty, although you can probably use a mixer, and be alright. Once it's a decent consistency, spray the bottom of the dish, and spread evenly. Throw it in the freezer for 45 mins to an hour, remove, and cut. I cut mine in to 9 squares. Was just easier to cut 3x3. Each square yields:

Calories/Protein/Carb/Fat.

Enjoy.

Shoot..didn't think about it. I'll snap some after I take these out of the freezer.

Doesn't a protein bar lose the portability and convenience factors when it can melt at room temp?

PB & Chocolate is such a winning combo. FYI: 4T of pb = 1/4c. Did you mean 4 servings (2T each)?

hmmm, now that school is about to start i might have to make something along the lines of these...since you used milk, do you think they will keep in a backpack for 3-5 hours?

Winning combo, for sure!! And you're right...it was 4 Tbsp (1/4 Cup). Thanks for the correction! Have fixed the original post!!

I don't think they would last five hours. That being said...the milk is purely optional. You could certainly do the batch with water...as I don't think that would change consistency, or taste..."too much". Hope it works out for you!!

Just made some up and threw it in the freezer, ill report back later. Used extra pb in mine however, so we will see.

Just popped a batch into the freezer... Instead of milk I used 1/3 cup almond milk and 2/3 water and added 1/4 tbsp of vanilla

Nice recipe thx

Forgive my lack of knowledge on protein bars

I take it you cook the rolled oats first, ie add water and zap in the microwave?

[dcdlm]

I made them a couple days back and they are tasty, you just have to freeze them for the right amount of time. I left them in too long and they were fat too hard so i put them in the fridge overnight anf they were mad soft, so i just ended up eating with a spoon and it tasted like some delicious choc pb pudding.

Nope..just scooped them right out of the container. I never cook my rolled oats. That's just me though. Well, probably not "just" me...but you know.
