👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, freeze-dried raspberries, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
-
3
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), nut butter, and vanilla extract. Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds, or gently heat on the stovetop, until the mixture is warm and smooth.
-
4
Pour the warm wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a sturdy spatula or your hands until all the oats are fully coated and the mixture is sticky.
-
5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Using the back of your spatula or your hands, press the mixture down very firmly and evenly into the pan. The firmer you press, the better the bars will hold together.
-
6
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are completely firm. For a quicker set, you can freeze for 30 minutes before transferring to the fridge.
-
7
Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire block from the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 10-12 bars using a sharp knife.
-
8
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days, or freeze for longer storage.
💡 Notes
For a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter. For a vegan version, use plant-based Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vegan protein powder. Feel free to add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or seeds for extra flavor and texture!
