No Bake Homemade Peanut Butter Protein Bars recipe
These No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bars taste just like a peanut butter cup without the added sugar. The perfect snack to boost your energy and a great source of protein!
Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ cup Vanilla Milkshake Premier Protein Whey Powder
- ½ cup oat flour *
- ½ cup chocolate chips, divided
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the peanut butter and honey. Depending on the consistency of your peanut butter you might need to microwave the mixture for 15 seconds at a time until it is liquid enough to stir with the honey.
- Stir in the Vanilla Milkshake Premier Protein Whey Powder and the oat flour. Mix well until the mixture is smooth. Stir in a few chocolate chips.
- Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap. Roll the dough out into a rectangle that is about 6-7 by 3-4 inches. Carefully fold the dough until you get a uniform shape. Wrap the dough in the plastic wrap and lay it flat in the freezer. Allow it to harden for 20 minutes.
- Remove the large bar from the freezer and cut it into 12 equal size bars. Melt the rest of the chocolate in a microwave-safe dish 15 seconds at a time until it is spreadable. Spread the chocolate on top of each bar. Put them back in the freezer for a few more minutes to harden up again.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
* To make your own oat flour put old fashioned oats in a food processor or high-speed blender. Mix until you get a powder. Sift the powder to get a fine oat flour. To make it gluten-free use gluten-free oats.
