If you’re trying to get in shape, you know that getting enough protein is important for muscle tone. However, store-bought protein bars are expensive. Here’s an easy homemade protein bar recipe that doesn’t require any baking.
Homemade Protein Bars
1/2 C. skim milk
1 C. peanut butter
3 Tbsp. honey
1 1/2 C. whey protein powder
2 C. oats (regular, not quick-cook)
On medium heat, combine milk, peanut butter and honey. Stir until well-combined. Remove from heat. Stir in protein powder and oats. Pat into a 9×13 cake pan. Cool completely, then cut into rectangles.
It’s good to see a protein snack recipe that does not require me to run to the supermarket and search for special ingredients. The fact that they are no-bake makes them all the more appealing.
Do you know the nutritional values for these?
Made these exactly to the recipe and they came out perfectly! I don’t even like peanut butter but these are yum!!
I’d love the nutritional content of these also please!
i like the recipes. have not tried any yet, just stumbled onto the site
I’m really confused.. are we suppose to combine the ingredients in a skillet? And when you say “cool completely” do you mean in the fridge or just on the counter? Thanks
I followed this recipe exactly and these came out REALLY dry. I think the protein powder and oats need to be a smaller measurement to avoid these being so dry. I just used the last of my peanut butter, so I’ll probably be eating these out of a bowl, cause there’s not way these are going to STICK together.
The first time I made them they were dry. So this time I reduced the protein powder to one cup and doubled the milk (I used almond milk) then added a tablespoon of ground flax and tablespoon of chia seeds and got the right consistency!
I made these. I put them in a 9×9 pan… I would of liked them a little drier. I used almond milk instead of milk. I put dark chocolate on the top of half for my bf. I have to remember they are protein bars… I enjoy them alot!
Just made these & it took no time at all! I used the measurements exactly and They came out absolutely perfect! Thank you for sharing!!
So glad you liked them, Krista!
Cant wait for these to come out of the fridge! Just made them with cookies and cream isopure powder. Next batch will be chocolate protein powder <3 Its such a quick and easy recipe that my 9 year old had fun making them with me!
