Andy K’s No Bake Protein Bars

November 20, 2015 by Monica

No_Bake_Protein_Bars-1
Easy and versatile, these no bake protein bars are perfect fodder for experimentation. Try amping up the spices or adding different dried fruits, nuts and seeds. Be creative! I like a combo of Willie’s 100% Cacao, cranberries, and pecans, with a coating of cacao nibs. Sometimes we even add chilli (dry or fresh).

Andy K’s No Bake Protein Bars

  • 2 cups oatmeal
  • 1 cup protein powder (I use Pulsin’s Organic Whey Protein)
  • 1/4 cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries (or other dried fruit)
  • 1/4 cup almonds (or other nut)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup apple sauce
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • pinch of salt

Method

  1. Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. In a medium saucepan, warm the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
  3. Mix the dry mixture and the wet mixture together (you can let the wet mixture cool a bit if you don’t want the chocolate to melt).
  4. Place into 8×8 container lined with clingfilm. Use your hands to press flat. Refridgerate until firm, then cut into 6-10 pieces. Keeps for a week.
