Ingredients

    2 C oats
    1 C protein powder (approx 100g)
    1/4 chopped/slivered almonds
    1/2 TBSP cinnamon
    1TBSP unsweet. cocoa
    *Mix, set aside

    In another bowl, microwaveable. or saucepan:
    1/4 c natural peanut butter
    1/4c unsweet. almond milk
    1/4c unsweet. applesauce
    1/4 c chopped dark (i like 85%) chocolate
    1tsp vanilla

    Heat until creamy/smooth

    Add wet to dry, mix. Stir in 1/4c raisins/cranberries unsweetened.

    Press all into pan lined with wax paper. Refrigerate until hard. Turn out onto board, slice into desired size bars, refrigerate/freeze in single portions and grab to go.

Tips

100g protein powder is approx 1 cup not too packed. I weighed out 50 g loose in a 1/2c (125 ml) measure thus coming to the conclusion (using my large functioning brain) that 100g is approx 1 cup (250ml) of loosely packed protein. Feel free to use any protein you like, I prefer a pure whey isolate with nothing added. The original recipe also calls for 1/4 c (62.5 ml) honey/sweetener equivalent but I like bitter chocolate taste and cutting down on carbs. Could also leave out raisins/dried fruit for more lowering of the carbs.


Directions

Mix dry ingreds, set aside. Mix wet ingreds in separate bowl, add chopped chocolate. Heat until creamy/smooth. add raisins. Stir wet into dry, press into a pan lined with wax paper & refrigerate at least 60min. Turn out on cutting board, slice into desired bar sizes, wrap in wax paper or keep in tupperware. Probably could freeze as well for larger batches.

Serving Size: 6-12 bars depending how you like to cut them
