7 Easy Steps To Make Homemade Protein Bar At Home

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds or flaxseeds (if using).

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, gently heat the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) for 20-30 seconds until they are easy to stir together.

Step 3

Pour the peanut butter and honey mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the milk and stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be sticky and slightly firm.

Step 4

Line a baking dish (8x8-inch) with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish and press it down evenly with the back of a spoon.

Step 5

If you're using chocolate chips, melt them in the microwave (in 15-20 second bursts) and drizzle or spread them over the top of the bars.

Step 6

Place the dish in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours to let the bars firm up.

Step 7

Once firm, lift the mixture out of the dish using the parchment paper and cut it into bars. Store in the fridge for up to a week
