Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 2 scoops protein powder
- 1/2 cup raw almonds or pecans
- 1/3 cup walnuts
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ripe banana mashed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the oats, almonds (or pecans), and walnuts on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are slightly golden and fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted oats and nuts with the protein powder, raisins, cinnamon, and sea salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter and honey until smooth and combined. Stir in the mashed banana.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is evenly coated.
- Line an 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly into the pan, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hours to allow the bars to firm up.
- Once set, remove from the pan and cut into bars. Enjoy immediately or store for later!
