From Scratch Protein Bars

Ingredients

• Peanut butter
  • 1.5 cups peanut butter or almond butter (I use Nut’s n More peanut butter)-Use my discount code 143NWW for 15% off
• 3 tsp honey: The honey acts as a natural sweetener (choose local honey if you can to support immune function)
• 1 small ripe banana ( you can also swap banana with applesauce if you wish)
• Kodiak Cake Protein Oats
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats (use your preference)
• Protein powder
  • ½ cup Momentous whey protein powder (Use code WendiIrlbeck for 15% OFF any protein powders or supplements)
• Sea salt: This enhances all of the flavors of the ingredients.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract: Adding a little more sweet flavor.
• 2 tsp cinnamon powder: Adds a little extra flavor
• ¾ cup sugar free/low sugar chocolate chips (or use dark chocolate/white chocolate of choice)

Directions

• Line an 8X8 baking dish of choice. I use glass or you can use metal. Line the dish with parchment paper if you wish and set aside.
• In a large bowl, add ALL ingredients except your chocolate chips.
• Mix ingredients until thoroughly combined. The mixture should resemble a soft cookie dough.
• Add in your chocolate chips.
• Using your hands or a rubber spatula, press the mixture into the prepared pan.
• Place in the refrigerator to chill for 45 minutes to make cutting simple.
• Once the bars are chilled and hold their form Evenly cut into 10 bars. Enjoy!

Notes

Prepare a few batches at once. These from scratch bars will last 1-2 months if properly stored in the freezer. Though mine never do! These bars are a huge hit with my soccer, XC, baseball, and hockey athletes!

Once you prepare the ingredients press down into a container. Store in the refrigerator for 45-min and then cut into portions!

If you wish to store them in the freezer be sure to wrap in parchment paper and place in a gallon freezer bag labeled with date. Take out and let thaw for 10-min and enjoy!
