Protein Bar Recipe--Help!
Ok, here is my recipe for protein bars. Nothing earth-shattering, but very tasty. Only problem is, that these suckers were rock hard. I'm looking for help in what I can add, subtract, change so that these will be chewy instead of hard. Thanks!
HOMEMADE PROTEIN BARS
Ingredients:
-6 scoops of chocolate flavored protein powder
-1 cup of quick oats
-3 cups of Rice Krispies
-1/2 cup of trail mix (nuts and dried fruit)
-1/2 cup peanut butter
-1/2 cup honey
-1/2 cup chocolate chips
-3/4 cup brown sugar
-2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
Instructions:
Combine rice krispies, oats, trail mix, and flaxseed in a large bowl sprayed with cooking spray, set aside.
In a medium sauce pan, combine brown sugar, peanut butter and honey over medium heat. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in protein powder. Pour chocolate mixture over cereal mixture and stir until evenly coated. Press into 9x13 pan sprayed with cooking spray. Cool at room temp until set, then cut into squares. Makes 12 squares (about 2 inches square).
Instant and very good protein bars whenever you need them. Cheaper and better flavored!
