Homemade Protein Bars

Ingredients:

• 300g Oats
• 25g Vanilla Whey
• 40g Crunchy Peanut Butter
• 2 (60g) Eggs
• 1 Banana (120g)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 100ml Regular Milk
• Pinch salt
• Generous pinch Cinnamon

Preparation:

• Add Oats to mixing bowl.
• Add whey, mix briefly.
• Add pinch salt, and cinnamon.
• Add Peanut Butter. Mix, trying to break peanut butter up into small lumps. Mix briefly.
• Gradually add lightly beaten eggs, whilst mixing.
• Add (mashed) banana, mix well.
• Add honey, mix.
• Gradually add milk, whilst mixing.
• Place in lightly oiled or greaseproof paper lined square baking tin (I used a 7"x7"x1.5" tin)
• Bake at moderate oven temp. (180 deg) for 20-25 mins, or until golden brown.

I have just made these for the first time. They smell nice, are slightly soft-centred due to the banana, and taste quite good, albeit quite oat-ey. I got 8 slices out of the mixture. Each slice is :

• 135.5 kcals
• 7.5g Protein
• 14g Carbs
• 5.5g Fat

...based on the ingredients used. These bars were made with the intention of convenient food whilst bulking. I would have preferred more protein in the bars. Next time, I will add more whey, another banana and egg, and possibly less oats.

Another 50 grams of whey would put the Protein to Carbohydrate ratio at 1:1 and this would be good and the bars would still retain their moist, rich texture. Enjoy!
