Soft and chewy oatmeal bars packed with almond butter, fresh strawberries, and protein powder, these bars make a nutritious and convenient breakfast or snack option that supports a high-protein diet.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 bars

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup mashed strawberries or strawberry puree
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal of bars.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder thoroughly to evenly distribute the protein throughout the bars.
  3. Prepare Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, honey or maple syrup, mashed strawberries or puree, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry oat and protein powder mix, stirring until a uniform dough forms with no dry spots.
  5. Shape the Bars: Transfer the mixture into the lined baking pan and press it evenly to ensure the bars hold shape after baking.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the bars are set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into 8 bars to avoid crumbling.

Notes

  • Adjust the sweetness to taste depending on the sweetness level of the protein powder used.
  • Store these bars in the refrigerator to maintain a firmer texture and preserve freshness for up to one week.
