Description
It's so easy to make protein bars at home! Each of these Homemade Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Protein Bars has 15 grams of protein, and they taste just like chocolate chip cookie dough! They're no-bake, delicious, and are super easy to customize to your liking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 6 tablespoons (3 oz) maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup protein powder (~3 scoops)
- 1 cup oat flour*
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix the peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt with a strong spatula or a hand mixer.
- Mix in the protein powder and oat flour.
- Mix in the mini chocolate chips, scoop the mixture out into and 8x8" or 9x9" baking dish. Use the back of a measuring cup to smooth out the bars, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours, until firmed up.
- Cut into bars, and enjoy! Keep refrigerated in an airtight container.
Notes
*Raw oat flour is generally considered safer than raw all-purpose flour, though it's not completely-risk free. If you're worried about consuming raw oat flour, you can pasteurize it by spreading it out on a sheet pan and baking at 160˚F, until the flour is completely heated through. You can also grind up your own whole rolled oats into oat flour.
Be sure to refrigerate the bars before enjoying. The peanut butter needs to firm up, or the bars' texture won't be quite right. We recommend letting them chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hour before cutting into bars and enjoying.
