Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix the rolled oats, protein powder, and nut butter until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a sticky, uniform mixture.
  2. Shape Bars: Transfer the mixture onto a lined baking tray or pan. Press down firmly and evenly to shape it into a rectangular or square slab about 1 inch thick. Cut into individual bars with a sharp knife. For firmer bars, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Choose your favorite nut butter for varied flavor and nutrition.
  • Add-ins like honey or maple syrup can be incorporated for natural sweetness if desired.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Customize by adding seeds, dried fruits, or dark chocolate chips.
