👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder. Whisk well to ensure no clumps remain.
-
2
Add the nut butter and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir vigorously with a sturdy spatula or spoon until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and a thick, cohesive dough forms.
-
3
Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Transfer the protein bar mixture into the prepared pan.
-
4
Using the back of a spoon or lightly dampened hands, press the mixture down very firmly and evenly into the pan. This step is crucial for bars that hold their shape.
-
5
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is completely firm and set.
-
6
Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire block from the pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut into 10-12 evenly sized bars.
-
7
Serve immediately or store for later. Enjoy your delicious homemade no-bake protein bars!
💡 Notes
Feel free to add optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture. Adjust the amount of liquid sweetener if the mixture is too dry or too wet. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
