Homemade Protein Bars!

Jul 7

Here’s what you’ll need to make these protein bars :

Peanut Butter or Almond butter! This will be your binding ingredient, also a great source of healthy fats
Honey – For a touch of sweetness
Coconut oil - coconut oil has many nutrients and fatty acids that your body needs
Oats - the perfect complex carb, you can use slightly ground oats or oat flour will work too
Protein Powder – I used a plant based protein but you can use any protein you would like.
Any mix ins you would like - flaxseeds, chia seeds, nuts, coconut, chocolate chips, hemp seeds

· 1 cup of peanut butter

· 1/4 cup of coconut oil

· 1/4 honey

· 1 and 1/4 cup of oats, 2 scoops of protein powder

· 1 cup total of mix ins (flaxseeds, chia seeds, nuts, coconut)

1. In a mixing bowl add in peanut butter, coconut oil and honey

2. Stir wet ingredients until combined

4. Mix until combined

5. Spread out mixture onto a pan lined with parchment paper
