homemade protein bars

<p>These 5-ingredient Protein Bars are super easy, packed with good nutrition, and perfect for breakfast or snack on the run. Plus, they are a no-bake recipe! This one's a keeper.</p>

5-Ingredient Protein Bars (No-Bake!)

milk (I use whole)

peanut butter

vanilla or chocolate whey protein powder

old fashioned rolled oats, uncooked

(Optional: Melted dark chocolate for drizzling)

5-Ingredient Protein Bars (no-bake!)

In a medium heavy pot, combine milk, peanut butter, and desired amount of honey over low heat. Stir just until all ingredients are well combined and warmed through. Add protein powder and oats. Stir to combine well. (If mixture is too thick to stir, simply add a bit more milk.)

Lightly grease an 8&#215;8 pan. Press mixture evenly into pan, using enough pressure to compress mixture into desired bar thickness.

Cut into squares. If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate and let cool. Wrap in airtight container and store at moderate room temp for several days, or chilled in fridge for a week. 

You had me at no bake. Since I promised myself to pick healthier food this year, I am going to make these protein bars to snack on instead of chips. Thanks for the recipe. I will make some this weekend.

I used to make these all the time. I just love them. They are so tasty.

I love the recipe and love the chocolate toppings!  I am sure this is a perfect dessert for my Chinese new year party.

Thank you for this easy and healthy protein bar! I went grocery shopping today and forgot to buy protein bars; I made these instead.  Glad I made these instead!

Hi, I have digestive issues due to several surgeries done at abdominal area and also have a bolted colon.   
Would like to know what can I replace the oats with for easy digestion.  Also, can maple syrup replace honey?
Many thanks.

Hi,
I tried this yesterday and they taste very good!  Unfortunately I think I put a little bit too much milk when I was mixing it (I don't like my oak too dry) so the final bar is a bit soft.  Can you share a picture of the mixture's consistency so that I can roughly tell if mine have enough water? 
Thank you!!!

Homemade Protein Bars | The Best No Bake Gluten Free Recipe

scoop gluten free protein powder

Medjool dates

maple syrup

vanilla extract

milk (any kind) (plus more as necessary)

chocolate

protein powder

unsweetened cocoa powder (natural

Line an 8-inch square baking pan or standard 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with unbleached parchment paper and set it aside.

Place the oats in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until ground into a flour. Add the protein powder, dates, maple syrup, vanilla, salt, 1/4 cup milk and (optional) melted unsweetened chocolate.

Process until the mixture is well-combined and is tacky (but not sticky) to the touch. Add more milk by the teaspoonful and process, only as necessary for the mixture to reach the proper consistency.

If you opt not to use the melted unsweetened chocolate, you will have to add more milk, and the bars will not hold together as firmly when shaped.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer, smoothing the top as much as possible.

Cover with parchment and place in the refrigerator or freezer to chill until firm (about 1 hour in the refrigerator, or 20 minutes in the freezer). Remove the bars from the pan and slice into 10 or 12 equal-sized rectangular bars.

Dip in the optional melted bittersweet chocolate to coat and allow to sit at room temperature until set.

Wrap the bars individually in waxed paper, and store in the refrigerator.

To make the date version

Place the oats in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until ground into a flour. Add the protein powder, cocoa powder (or more protein powder), nut butter, maple syrup, salt, 1/4 cup milk and melted unsweetened chocolate (or more nut butter and maple syrup).

Dip in the optional melted bittersweet chocolate to coat or simply drizzle some melted chocolate over the top, and allow to sit at room temperature until set.

Chocolate Topping:

An easy way to make homemade protein bars with dates, nuts, egg white protein and your favorite mix-ins customizing your flavors. Think copycat RX BAR but homemade!

Homemade Protein Bars {copycat RXBAR}

cashews

almonds

egg white protein powder

Medjool dates, pitted

mango

pineapple

walnuts

blueberries

cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)

mint extract

unsalted peanuts

water,

½ cup mini dairy-free chocolate chips

If dates or dried mango and pineapple are super dry, soak in warm water for 3-4 minutes then drain well.

Line a 8×8 pan with parchment paper (or use silicone pan), set aside.

In the bowl of your food processor with S blade, process almonds, cashews, and egg white protein until nuts have broken down into small pieces.

Add in pitted dates, dried mango and pineapple; process until combined–the mixture will look a little dry. With the motor running about 1 tablespoon of water at a time until mixture is sticky and everything comes together. Depending on if your dates were juicy or dry, you may need less or more water.

Once mixtures has come together and is sticky, transfer to lined 8×8 pan or silicone pan. Use slightly wet hands to press evenly into pan. I use his fun little pastry roller to make it extra flat.

Place pan in fridge for 1 hour, or freezer for 30 minutes before cutting into bars. Use large sharp knife and cutting board, cutting bars into 12 or 16 squares. 

Pineapple Mango

In the bowl of your food processor with S blade, process cashews, walnuts and egg white protein until nuts have broken down into small pieces.

Add in pitted dates and dried blueberries; process until combined–the mixture will look a little dry. With the motor running about 1 tablespoon of water at a time until mixture is sticky and everything comes together. Depending on if your dates were juicy or dry, you may need less or more water.

Once mixtures has come together and is sticky, transfer to lined 8×8 pan or silicone pan. Use slightly wet hands to press evenly into pan. 

Place pan in fridge for 1 hour, or freezer for 30 minutes before cutting into bars. Use large sharp knife and cutting board, cutting bars into 12 or 16 squares, or roll into balls. 

Blueberry

In the bowl of your food processor with S blade, process walnuts, cashews and egg white protein until nuts have broken down into small pieces.

Add in cacao powder, pitted dates and mint extract; process until combined.  With the motor running add about 1 tablespoon of water at a time until mixture is sticky and everything comes together. Depending on if your dates were juicy or dry, you may need less or more water.

Transfer to lined 8×8 pan or silicone pan. Use slightly wet hands to press evenly into pan or use pastry roller.

Place pan in fridge for 1 hour, or freezer for 30 minutes before cutting into bars. Use large sharp knife and cutting board, cutting bars into 12 or 16 squares. Or try rolling into tablespoon size balls.

Mint Chocolate

In the bowl of your food processor with S blade, process peanuts and egg white protein until nuts have broken down. It won&#8217;t take much because the peanuts are already fairly small.

Add in pitted dates; process until combined–the mixture will look a little dry. With the motor running about 1 tablespoon of water at a time until mixture is sticky and everything comes together. Depending on if your dates were juicy or dry, you may need less or more water. I needed 5 tablespoons water here. Once the mixture has come together, remove the S blade and fold in chocolate chips. If using regular-sized morsels, feel free to pulse in. 

Transfer to lined 8×8 pan or silicone pan. Use slightly wet hands to press evenly into pan. 

Place pan in fridge for 1 hour, or freezer for 30 minutes before cutting into bars. Use large sharp knife and cutting board, cutting bars into 12 or 16 squares. Or roll into balls, press into cookie shape, etc.
