Step 1: The Oats

First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then, add two and a half cups of quick oats to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: The Protein Powder

Then, add a cup of protein powder. I used the Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder. These bars would be good with a chocolate or peanut butter-flavored protein powder as well.

Step 3: The Peanut Butter or Any Nut Butter

Next, slightly melt a cup of peanut butter or any type of nut butter that you prefer. I put the natural creamy peanut butter I used in the microwave for about thirty seconds.

Step 4: The Maple Syrup and Mix

Then, add half a cup of maple syrup, honey, or agave to the mixing bowl. Stir this mixture together. 

Step 5: The Milk (Optional)

Depending on the texture of the batter, you can add a quarter to a half cup of milk. I used half a cup of unsweetened almond milk to make my mixture easier to stir. This isn’t necessary depending on the type of peanut butter or nut butter you use. 

Since I used natural peanut butter, I needed the milk to soften the batter. 

Step 6: Bake the Bars

Then, place the mixture in an 8×8 baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Bake for about 28-30 minutes. Cut bars as desired and enjoy. 

You can always freeze the bars so that you can pop them into your bag on the way out the door.

Protein Packed Deliciousness

Now that you have your bars, enjoy them!
