No-Bake Oatmeal Protein Bars
Ingredients
- 2 cups quick cooking oats
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 4 scoops protein powder (recipe says vanilla or cookies & cream work best)
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- 1. Knead all ingredients in a large bowl.
- 2. Line square baking pan with wax paper. Spread dough into pan using a spatula. (I find it easier to use my hands so I can press it in pretty good. Makes it like Cliff bar texture.) Optional: Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top of dough.
- 3. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- 4. Remove from freezer. Cut into bars. (I store them in snack size Ziploc bags for an easy on-the-go snack. I like to eat them before the gym.)
