The Ingredients:

  • 1 and 1/4 cup of oat flour (you can just blend oats to make this)

  • 1/3 cup of protein powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup of nut butter (such as peanut butter or almond butter)

  • 1/3 cup of honey or maple syrup

  • 1/2 tbsp melted coconut oil

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • Optional mix-ins: 1/3 cup chopped nuts, dried fruits, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, chia seeds, or flaxseeds

The Method:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, protein powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure they are evenly distributed.

  2. Add the nut butter of your choice, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla to the bowl. Stir until the mixture becomes sticky and starts to clump together.

  3. If desired, incorporate your favorite mix-ins into the mixture. This is where you can get creative and add flavors and textures that you enjoy. Whether it's crunchy nuts, chewy dried fruits, or decadent chocolate chips, these mix-ins will take your protein bars to the next level.

  4. Line a baking dish or container with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly and evenly to form a compact layer.

  5. Optional: Sprinkle additional toppings over the top for an eye-catching presentation and added flavor.

  6. Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to allow the mixture to set and firm up.

  7. Once chilled and firm, remove the protein bar slab from the dish using the parchment paper. Transfer it to a cutting board and slice it into your desired bar sizes.

  8. Take a moment to capture a photo of your homemade protein bars. Share it with your friends and followers, inspiring them to try this easy and nutritious recipe!

  9. Individually wrap each protein bar with parchment paper or plastic wrap for convenient grab-and-go snacks.

  10. Enjoy your No-Bake Homemade Protein Bars as a pre-workout boost, post-workout recovery snack, or a nutritious treat to satisfy your midday cravings. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for longer shelf life.
