Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup protein powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the oats and protein powder. Stir together until evenly combined.
- Add Nut Butter: Add the nut butter to the dry ingredients and mix well. Use a spoon or your hands to combine everything into a sticky, uniform mixture.
- Shape Into Bars: Line a baking dish or tray with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture onto the tray, pressing it firmly and evenly to form a compact layer about 1/2 inch thick. Use a spatula or your hands to smooth the surface.
- Chill and Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to firm up. Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into bars or squares.
Notes
- For added sweetness, consider mixing in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup before shaping.
- You can include add-ins like chocolate chips, dried fruit, or seeds for extra flavor and texture.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- These bars are no-bake and require chilling to set properly.
- Use gluten-free oats to make the bars gluten-free.
