I found a great recipe online for homemade protein bars and decided to make a batch using NOW Whey Protein. Here's the recipe for those interested. The nutritional data was collected using MFP and is in reference to each 53 g bar.I intend to make more and use Hodgson Mill Flax Seed to increase the fiber!
Ingredients
- Now Foods - Whey Protein Isolate - Natural Vanilla, 372 g (6 scoops)
- Cereal: Quaker - Old Fashioned Rolled Oats, 1 cup dry
- Sunbutter - Sunflower Seed Spread, 6 tbsp
- 1 tsp Vanilla Flavoring
- 1/2 cup water (more depending on protein powder)
- Whole Foods 365 Organic - Wildflower Amber Honey, 1 Tbsp (21g)
Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix well. Add sunbutter and mix - the mixture will be crumbly and dry. Add water & vanilla.
Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix everything until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky. Spread dough into pan using a clean wooden spoon or spatula that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Refrigerate a few hours (or freeze for an hour). Drizzle honey on top. Cut into 9 squares. Wrap bars individually (use sandwich bags or plastic wrap) or store in covered container between sheets of wax paper. Keep refrigerated.
