I recently found another protein bar recipe that I am in love with! It might just be my favourite so far. I got the recipe from this website. They are super easy to make and involve my favourite ingredient ever invented – PB2. You can also substitute natural peanut butter, but the nutritional info would change.
Ingredients
1 cup gluten free or regular quick oats
1/2 cup of your favourite protein powder – I used a vanilla flavour
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp powder stevia or sweetener of your choice
1/2 cup PB2 (can also use regular peanut butter)
1 cup apple sauce
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup egg whites
Preheat your oven to 350F. In a large bowl, add the first 6 ingredients and mix well. Combine the last 4 ingredients in a separate medium bowl and mix well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. The batter is quite thick; I poured it into a greased 8 x 8 pan then placed wax paper over it and pressed firmly into the pan to evenly distribute it. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and cut into 8 squares. Wrap them in cellophane and store in the fridge. You can also freeze these for later!

If you wanted them to be higher in protein say double the 12g can you use a cup of protein powder?
You could, but you might need to compensate with some more liquid or they might be too dry. And you may therefore need to cook them a bit longer :)
I saw this a bit too late… you are right a bit no the dry side! but still good. I am having difficulty figuring out the protein per bar plus the calories. Originally you say that yours have 12g and i added double and cant come up with the right numbers. I could completely be doing it wrong tho!
Oh no! I’m sorry you didn’t get it in time :( I use my fitness pal to calculate all my nutritional info.
Do you use 1/2 of the pb2 mix, or 1/2 cup of the pb2 mixed with water?
Just 1/2 cup of the PB2 powder, not mixed with water.
If I wanted to use whole eggs, how many should I use?
As long as it is equivalent to 1/4 cup. So depending on the size 1-2 eggs maybe?
Thanks so much!! Can’t wait to try it!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes :)
Does anyone know how much fiber?
There is 3g of fiber :)
