Peanut Butter Protein Oat Bars
Try these super yummy protein packed oat bars full of flavor & fiber!
Equipment
- 2 mixing bowls
- 1 baking pan or glass baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 cups oats (rolled or quick)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter powder optional for topping
- 2 scoops protein powder about 60g
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- In a medium bowl mix together your dry ingredients, the quick cooking oats, baking powder, sea salt ground cinnamon & protein powder and set aside.
- In a large bowl mix your mashed banana and peanut butter together until combined.
- Add in the vanilla extract, honey and egg (to make this vegan you can replace with a flax egg). Mix until combined.
- Add half the almond milk and stir until everything is fully mixed in.
- Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add remainder of milk slowly until a cake like batter is formed.
- Pour the mixture into a lightly greased 9×9” baking pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Or until the top slightly springs back when touched and the edges are just barely brown!
- For the topping you can drizzle regular peanut butter on top. I mixed 2 tbsp of Chike peanut butter powder with water for my topping to make this a little more macro friendly.
- Cut into squares and enjoy!
- Store in refrigerator, reheat in microwave or enjoy cold!
Notes
Add milk gradually to ensure you achieve a mixture that is not too liquid.
