Love protein bars, but hate the options in the store, or can’t find exactly what you want? We’ve got you covered. Mix and match your desired nut butter and protein flavors with a rolled oat base to get the perfect combination. I prefer vanilla protein and peanut butter, but feel free to mix it up and get creative.
4 Ingredient No-Bake Protein Bars
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 Cups rolled oats
- 1-2 Scoops protein powder of choice I use whey
- 1 Cup nut butter
- 1/2 Cup maple syrup or sugar free syrup or agave nectar
- 1/2 Cup melted chocolate chips for topping optional
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside
- In a large mixing bowl, combine protein powder and rolled oats and mix well
- In a microwave-safe bowl or stovetop, heat up your nut butter with your syrup and heat until warm and mix together.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix very well, until combined, it may be a bit sticky and take time to mix completely together
- Transfer the protein bar batter into the lined pan and press firmly into place, I used my spatula to prevent sticking to my fingers
- Refrigerate until firm, and slice into bars, mine made about 14
- Drizzle with optional chocolate, if desired
