MY HOMEMADE PROTEIN BARS

I got this recipe from the internet and did some major adjustments through trial and error. They are amazing now! Even my husband likes them!
  • 3 cups oats
  • 6 protein servings (I use 6 scoops) of chocolate peanut butter or chocolate flavor
  • 3/4 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups milk or soymilk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

To help it mix better, I combine all the wet ingredients first then the dry. Mix very well in mixer. Pour into an oiled 9x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 25-35 min or until top is browned. Cut when they are cooled.

Makes 12 bars. After cut, put in the fridge. Must stay in the fridge or they will mold very quickly!

**Its a perfect combination of protein, carbs, and fat! Help you feel full and satisfied during your busy day! Great for post-workout as well!
