Homemade Protein Bar

Hammerlynn · 02-09-2007, 02:13 PM

I found this on another forum.

2 Cups Oatmeal
4 scoops of whey (protein powder--any will do-vanilla kind)
1/2 cup peanut butter
about 5 tbsp of water.

Mix in a bowl--dough should be stiff.

Forms 6 bars on wax paper--freeze them for 40 minutes and then they are ready to go!! No baking!!

Not sure if the macros are correct, I've not made them yet.
Info:
195 cals
8.3g fat
16g carbs
18.8g protein

Not yet, I plan to this weekend. I'm going to use the BSN Fresh Cinnamon Roll protein..YUMMY all by itself. Everyone that has tried them on the other board raves about them though.

**IainDaniel** · 02-13-2007, 02:06 PM

Sooooo..... How did they turn out?

Uthinkso · 02-15-2007, 09:12 AM

Survey says.....I'm awaiting results on these.

Hammerlynn · 02-15-2007, 01:03 PM

Survey says...I suck and did not get to make them this past weekend. I will throw some together tonight

**IainDaniel** · 02-22-2007, 09:23 AM

Let me guess I am going to have to be the ginea pig and try these out

Hammerlynn · 02-22-2007, 09:24 AM

The last two weeks have completely sucked

I really WANT to make them....will try tonight while making dinner. If it makes you feel better, lots of things have not gotten done

Uthinkso · 02-22-2007, 11:03 AM

I will jump on it this weekend. I want to try these.

**calalily1972** · 02-22-2007, 11:46 AM

Yeah, someone let me know how these turn out. Dante was trying to make some last night for work. I'm pretty sure he ended up with really sweet tasting chunky oatmeal

Thats no damn good, I'm going to do it Sunday.

Details to follow.

Hammerlynn · 02-24-2007, 01:05 PM

I'm heading down to make these right now

Yes, really...didn't it feel colder outside?

Update in about an hour when they are frozen!

Edit: These get my stamp of approval even before frozen! The taste reminds me of a no bake oatmeal cookie

I mixed the oats and protein powder (I used BSN Dessert Protein-Whipped Vanilla flavor) then softened the PB for just a few second before mixing. I added 7 tablespoons total though for water. Pressed them into an 8x8 pan and they are chillin' now

Hammerlynn · 02-24-2007, 02:12 PM

FYI...the finished product is yummy too

Gordo · 02-25-2007, 07:56 AM

They're good (I 've made those before and variations on that theme), though, depending on the protein scoop you may want to take it up to 8 scoops.

If you're not lactose intolerant, replace the water with skim milk, It's just better, taste wise.

Uthinkso · 02-25-2007, 11:51 AM

I just got them done they are good indeed.

Hammerlynn · 02-26-2007, 09:29 AM

My only complaint as I continue to eat them is that they are very crumbly..lol My cat's loving it though

**IainDaniel** · 02-26-2007, 02:00 PM

These are pretty good. Just made some. I am not sure how much liquid I used I just kept adding a little bit at a time, till I had a doughy like consistency.

Definitely will make some more.

Me too! My BF tried one too and is equally hooked! Are yours crumbly? I wonder if that could be remedied by adding more water than I did. Hmmm. I also used natty PB for them so maybe that makes a difference in texture too.

**IainDaniel** · 02-26-2007, 02:12 PM

Nope not crumbly. I used natty PB.

If I followed the directions with 5 tbls I would have still had the powder. So I just slowly added till it was a big ball of Oats, PB, and Whey.

I used chocolate ON whey.

ava · 05-03-2007, 04:28 PM

Try this recipe with Rocky Road flavored ON Whey and also add in 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. It's my favorite variant so far and my kids love them.

MeatZatk · 05-20-2007, 01:49 PM

made them last night with vanilla protein, DELICIOUS!!!!! I've got to make more because my wife wants to take them to work.

shiek49 · 06-18-2007, 09:05 AM

i made these this weekend. they taste really good, but the ones i made were kind of sticky/tacky. did anyone else have the same issue?

I actually put six scoops of powder and a little more milk.

shiek49 · 06-18-2007, 11:26 AM

TopProducer · 06-19-2007, 10:19 AM

I made these last night. How do you dry them out so they are hard like a protein bar? Did I use to much water? After freezing them for 40 minutes they still stay gooey.

MeatZatk · 06-19-2007, 10:28 AM

you probably used too much water. make sure it's tbsp, not ounces. I did that one time and they stayed gooey.

shiek49 · 06-19-2007, 11:20 AM

yeah, mine were gooey as hell too. I did use more milk than it called for, but it just seemed too dry with only 5 tbsp. i'll just have to expierment with it. they are quite tasty.

**IainDaniel** · 06-19-2007, 12:01 PM

I just added a bit of milk or water and mixed alot, kept repeating till the powder was dissolved.

Av8tor · 09-18-2007, 09:03 PM

These were excellent. I definitely used more water. After being in the freezer for about 10 minutes, they were the perfect consistency.

Av8tor · 09-19-2007, 01:21 PM

I modified slightly and used 5 scoops of protein powder and came up with the following (Using Smuckers Nat. chunky PB):

6 servings:

340 Cals
14 grams fat
24 grams carbs
28 grams protein
4 grams fibre

thorough · 11-18-2007, 10:29 PM

anyone tried any recipes with less PB or a lower fat substitute? i wouldnt mind sacrificing some of the flavor or consistancy for getting it a little lower in fat since it would be nice to have a couple of these a day for a snack.
