Raisin Peanut Butter Protein Bars
These Protein Bars are chewy, fudgy, peanut buttery, sweet and are no bake. They taste more like decadent fudge rather than something that's actually good for you! Each bar has 13 grams of protein and makes a perfect snack.
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond (or your choice) milk
- 1/2 cup peanut (or any other nut or seed) butter
- 1/2 cup raisins – chopped
- 1/2 cup dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained, chopped
- 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some over hanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.Add rolled oats to a food processor and process until broken down into a flour. Add almond milk, peanut butter, protein powder and vanilla extract. Process until well combined. Lastly add chopped raisins and dates and pulse a couple of times to combine but still keep the chunks of dried fruit as its nice to have texture variance and different sized “bits” in your protein bars.Scoop the dough into the lined pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Cover and refrigerate for 2+ hours to firm up and set.Slice into 8-10 bars or more smaller squares. Cover and refrigerate to store. Keeps for 1 week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
