Cranberry Oat Protein Power Bars
The BEST Protein Bars are healthy, no-bake, and contain nothing artificial! These are chewy, delicious, easy to customize, and are the perfect healthy snack. These homemade protein bars are made with wholesome ingredients and naturally sweetened- they need just 7 ingredients! I love how each bar has over 10 grams of protein each!
Servings 10
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup peanut (or any nut or seed) butter
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line an 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.First, turn your oats into flour using your food processor. Then, add cranberries, almonds, nut butter, coconut, hemp seeds, protein powder and vanilla and process until a thick, pliable dough forms. You will probably have to scrape down the sides of the processor with a spatula at least once.Press the dough into the lined pan and chill for 1-2 hours before cutting into 10 bars or your desired size and shape. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.Note: Double the recipe to make double the bars, or, to achieve thicker bars.
