I made these the other day. They are very filling and chewy.
No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars
5 T natural peanut butter (Chunky or Smooth)
1/2 c dry oatmeal
1/2 c oat flour
6 scoops chocolate whey protein (132 grans protein)
1 t vanilla
2 T flax seeds (optional)
1 c non fat dry milk
1/2 c water(depending on what type of protein you use, you may need to add more or less)
Spray an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add peanut butter and mix - the
mixture will be crumbly and dry. Add water and vanilla. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky. Spread dough into pan using a spoon or spatula that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (I used wax paper to smooth it out into the pan) Refrigerate a few hours and cut into 9 squares. Wrap bars induvidually in sandwich bags. Store in refrigerator.
Modifications: Use vanilla protein and replace 1/4 c of the oat flour with avariety of nuts, seeds or dried berries. Chopped almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, peanuts. flax seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins or dried cranberries would all work well.
* To make Oat Flour: Put a cup or two in a blender and blend on high. It will turn into oat flour.
