This recipe is super easy, yummy and healthy. You can eat this if you are on a ‘clean diet’. I usually bake on a Sunday so that I’ve got some yummies for during the week. The below recipe is adapted from this recipe which I found through Pinterest. So let’s have a look at what you’ll need to make your own clean protein bars.
DIY Clean Protein Bar Ingredients
- 1 -2 Cups Dry Oat Meal (if you don’t have this, simply blend normal rolled oats in blender to make your own oat meal)
- 2-4 Scoops of your favourite protein powder (I used 100% Leanwhey Vanilla Ice)
- 1 Ripe banana
- 1/2 – 1 cup flaxseed (and or pinenuts/slivered almonds)
- 1/2 Cup of Melted Peanut butter
- 1/2 Cup of Melted Conocut Oil/Butter
- A little bit of water to smooth the mixture
- Optional: Honey if your banana isn’t sweet enough
- Optional: Raisins / Cranberries
- Optional: Shredded Coconout / Coconut Flakes
- Optional: 1 Dark Cholocate Bar (75% or 80% cocoa)
How to make your own protein bars
Step 1: Mash your banana with a fork
Step 2: Place mashed banana in a bowl and add your oats
Step 3: Add seeds/nuts
Step 4: Add your favourite protein powder
Step 5: Add raisins / cranberries
Step 6: In a separate little bowl, mix peanut butter and coconut oil and melt in microwave. Once melted, add this into the large bowl mixture.
Step 7: Now the fun part, mix all ingredients together with a wooden spoon and or your hands. If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit of water. Please note that the mixture should be really thick/firm (NOT A BATTER).
Step 8: Pour mixture into a lined baking tray.
Step 9: Smooth out the mixture and press down really firmly. Make sure you press it down like your life depends on it because this will make the BEST bars 🙂 (it needs to be firm!)
Step 10: Optional melt dark chocolate (75% or 80% cocoa) and pour melted chocolate over the mixture.
Step 11: Put in freezer for about 30 mins (or fridge for a couple hours)
