Protein bars are a great way to help you gain muscle. Unfortunately, not everyone has an oven to help them make their own bars. Here is a quick, easy, and tasty recipe that doesn’t involve an oven. Eating these no-bake protein bars will help you gain muscle whenever you work out.
You’re going to need the following:
• Three tablespoons of water
• 1 and a half cups of chocolate whey protein powder
• 3 tablespoons of honey
• A cup of peanut butter
• A cup of uncooked oats
Preparing the Protein Bars
Now all that’s left is putting these tasty ingredients together. Start with the peanut butter and honey. Mix them together in a bowl. If you want, you can use your hands to make sure that the mix is thorough – just be sure to wash your hands first. Put the bowl mix into the microwave and heat it for thirty seconds.
Once that’s done, bring it out from the microwave and add all the other ingredients. Mix them together. The resulting mixture should be both crumbly and moist. Add water slowly to make sure that it doesn’t get too soggy. Bring out a 9×9 tray and pack your mixture in it as tight as you can. Leave it in the freezer for twenty minutes to let it harden. At this point, you can cut it into as many pieces as you want, but this recipe is designed for twelve pieces.

Further Preparation
The recipe is open to personalization. The honey is there to taste, so you can add or remove as much honey as you prefer. You may also want to consider adding unsweetened cocoa to taste. Chocolate isn’t for everyone, but it’s just flavor anyway. Vanilla flavored whey powder works just as well.
These no-bake protein bars make for the perfect snack before or after a hard workout – and they don’t even require an oven.
These sound great, but I was wondering how much fiber is in each serving?
I’ve done something similar before.
Not everyone has an ‘oven’. I did laugh a little at this.
I have a recipe that is very similar to this one. I divide the mixture up in to silicone baking cups and then freeze. When I’m in the mood for one I just grab it out of the freezer, pop it out of the cup and let it thaw for 30 min.
These were great and very easy to modify according to taste. I used vanilla whey protein, omitted the honey and added unsweetened shredded coconut and ground flax. Very tasty!!
This sounds great. What do I replace the oats with? I can’t have oats due to an intolerance to oats. I can’t find a recipe for protein bars that doesn’t call for oats. Help!
