No Bake equals best bet yet!!


NO-COOK PROTEIN BARS
Cooking Spray
1.5 cups dry oatmeal - old fashioned rolled oats
2 scoops whey protein powder
2 Tbsp flaxseeds
1 cup nonfat powdered milk
1/4 cup all natural peanut butter
1/4 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup raisins (other dried fruit would be good too!!)
1. Lightly spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray
2. In a large bowl mix oatmeal, whey powder, flaxseeds and powdered milk.
3. In a serate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, water and vanilla. Add the peanutjbutter mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to form a sticky dough. Stir or knead in the raisins.
4. Using wet hands or a spatula, spread the mixture evenly into the prepared 8-inch pan. Freeze for 1 hour - or refridgerate overnight. make sure Mixture is firm enough to cut. Cut into 9 squares. Wrap individually and store in your refrigerator to grab on your way out the door.
THIS IS AN AMAZING SNACK! We have already thought of ways to mix it up, change the flavor or add different items! SO EASY!!!!

  1. Looks good. I posted a recipe the other day for a vanilla protein bar with the sweetener being applesauce and maple syrup. Really tasty but not as purty as yours!
