VIDEO: How to make no-bake peanut butter & chocolate chip protein bars

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Protein Bars By Michelle Rogers

As an alternative to granola bars, I’ve developed my own protein bar recipe, with peanut butter, oats, nuts, protein powder and (of course!) chocolate chips.

It’s now my favorite low-sugar, high-protein snack — delicious, healthy and filling. Best of all, it’s super easy to make! See video tutorial below

Try them out and let me know what you think in the comments.

Ingredients:

  •     2 cups quick-cooking oats
  •     1/4 cup natural peanut butter
  •     1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  •     4 scoops vanilla flavored whey protein powder
  •     1/2 cup water
  •     1/4 cup chopped or crushed unsalted peanuts (or, just use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy)
  •     1/4 cup chocolate chips

Optional: 1/4 cup raisins, cranberries, and/or almonds; 2 tablespoons shredded coconut

Directions:

Stir ingredients well in large bowl. Line 8″ square baking ban with waxed paper. Spread dough in pan. Freeze for 30 minutes. Cut into 9 bars.

Makes nine 2″ squares.

Note: These are soft and chewy bars. For best results, wrap individually and store in refrigerator.

Per bar: 205 calories; 9 g protein; 23 g carbs; 44.7 mg sodium; 6.7 mg cholesterol.


I use vanilla whey protein powder and ground flaxseed from Trader Joe’s.
