(20g protein per bar).
Ingredients:
• Rolled Oats: Forms the base of the bar, providing complex carbohydrates for sustained energy.
• Protein Powder: Whey, soy, or pea protein powder to boost the protein content.
• Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, or pecans for crunch, healthy fats, and additional protein.
• Seeds: Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds for extra protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and fibre.
• Raisins: For natural sweetness and a chewy texture. You can also use other dried fruits like apricots or cranberries.
• Nut Butter: Peanut or almond butter to bind the ingredients together and add more protein and healthy fats.
• Honey or Maple Syrup: Natural sweeteners to enhance the taste and help bind the ingredients.
• Vanilla Extract: For flavour.
• Pinch of Salt: To enhance the overall flavour.
• Optional Add-ins: Dark chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for additional flavour.
Method:
1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chopped nuts, seeds, and raisins.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. You can gently warm this mixture to make it easier to mix.
3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything is well coated.
4. Press into a Pan: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly into the tray. The thickness can be adjusted based on preference.
5. Chill and Set: Refrigerate for a few hours or until the mixture is firm.
6. Cut into Bars: Once set, cut into bars or squares and store in an airtight container.
