Description
Delicious and healthy no-bake protein bars that can be customized in 5 flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats (gluten-free, if necessary)
- 1 cup nut butter (any of your choice such as almond, peanut, or sunflower)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1 scoop protein powder (vegan if desired)
- 1/2 cup mix-ins (chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, seeds, etc.)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, nut butter, maple syrup, protein powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until everything is combined into a sticky dough.
- Add Mix-Ins: Fold in your choice of delicious mix-ins—perhaps some chocolate chips for an indulgent touch or dried cranberries for a fruity zing.
- Line Your Pan: Prepare a square baking dish (about 8×8 inches) by lining it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Press the Mixture: Pour the sticky mixture into the lined pan, and press it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or your hands.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 120 minutes, allowing your bars to set firm.
- Slice and Enjoy: Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and slice them into your preferred shapes. Enjoy your homemade protein bars with a warm cup of tea or coffee!

Store in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
