Nourishing homemade protein breakfast bars that balance convenience with nutrition. Made with wholesome oats, creamy nut butter, and protein powder, these bars provide sustained energy for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale

2.5 Cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
0.5 Cup Protein Powder (Vanilla or Chocolate)
0.75 Cup Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
0.33 Cup Pure Maple Syrup or Honey
2 Tablespoons Ground Flaxseeds
0.25 Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Teaspoon Cinnamo
0.5 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, protein powder, ground flaxseeds, and cinnamon until the powder is evenly distributed
  3. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and maple syrup. Heat for 30 seconds and stir until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and fold together with a sturdy spatula
  5. If the mixture is too dry, add almond milk one tablespoon at a time until a sticky dough forms
  6. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips or preferred mix-ins
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press down very firmly to ensure the bars hold their shape
  8. Refrigerate the pan for at least two hours to allow the bars to set and develop a chewy texture
  9. Lift the parchment paper to remove the block and slice into 10 or 12 individual bars using a sharp knife

Notes

To make these vegan, use maple syrup and a plant-based protein powder.

For nut allergies, replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.

Ensure oats are certified gluten-free for dietary needs.

Bars can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 7 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Optional: Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes if you prefer a toasted, firmer texture.
