Protein Bar Recipe

I've finally come up with one that the kids and I think is really good. I used agave nectar which I will change next time to something else. There's a lot of controversy on it. Anywhere, here's the recipe.


Peanut Butter Cookie Protein Bars
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup liquid sweetener (or more to taste)
1 1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 1/3 cup protein powder
2 cups oats

Directions:
1. Put the peanut butter and butter in glass dish and microwave for 30 seconds. Take this out and stir till melted together.
2. Add in vanilla and sweetener and stir till combined.
3. Next, add in the protein powder and stir till combined.
4. Add in the oats and stir till combined. Depending on what kind/how much sweetener you use, you may need to add a bit more or a bit less oats. You want a nice thick batter.
5. Pour into parchment paper lined 8x8 pan and pat out.
6. Refrigerate till solid.

Here's the protein break down if you cut into 12 bars for the ingredients I used.
Peanut butter - 56 grams
Protein Powder 56 grams
Oats 10 grams
Total 122 grams protein for the whole recipe. This calculates to around 12 grams of protein per bar.


The protein mix I used has very minimal ingredients and is unflavored - perfect for this bar! You can find it at the link below.
