I was hunting around on the internet for another homemade protein bar recipe and came across one that I've tweaked a bit to suit what I had in the cupboard / what I like. There are only 4 ingredients to this and doesn't require baking! Shop bought protein bars are super expensive and also loads of random ingredients in so here is a great alternative if you're thinking about making your own. Each bar is probably about 150-200 calories and 20g of protein.
Ingredients (makes 12):
60g ground almonds / oat flour (blitzed oats) / coconut flour (those pictured use ground almonds)
2 scoops of protein powder (your choice on type and flavour) - I've gone with whey chocolate here
500g peanut butter (no added sugar options, I use Aldi's own brand - the 100% peanuts one)
110g maple syrup
optional chocolate for coating / drizzling
Method:
Line a square / rectangle baking tin with baking paper
In a bowl mix together all the dry ingredients (flour & protein powder)
Gently heat to melt the peanut butter and maple syprup together so they're combined and runny
Add to the dry ingredients and stir until fully mixed
Transfer the mixture to the baking pan and press down / level out.
Refridgerate or freeze until firm and then cut in to bars
Can coat in optional melted chocolate - I've drizzled dark chocolate over the top of these ones in the picture
Store in the fridge for up to two weeks, and can also freeze. Best eaten at room temperature though.
