Homemade Protein Bars

It is easy to make your own protein granola bars at home. You can vary the ingredients and protein boosters to suit your tastes. This version of the snack contains oats, bran, chocolate chips, and yogurt. A non-dairy version is also included.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:

* Nonstick spray
* 1 cup soy protein powder (I think Optimum Nutrition Any Whey unflavored heat stable protein would be better)
* 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (see substitution below)
* 2 cups rolled oats
* 1/2 cup oat bran
* 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 to 2/3 cup (packed) brown sugar (substitute Splenda brown sugar)
* 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (are these available in sugar free?, if not, try nuts instead)
* 1-1/2 cups plain or vanilla yogurt (Fage yogurt has more protein, or used mashed tofu)
* 1/4 cup canola oil (or substitute 1/2 cup softened peanut butter)
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees F for a glass pan). Lightly spray a 9- by 13- inch baking pan and a baking tray with nonstick spray.

Mix together the protein powder, flour, oats, oat bran, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Crumble in the brown sugar, rubbing it with your fingers to break up any clumps. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Measure the yogurt, oil, and vanilla into a second bowl, stirring until well combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry, and mix patiently until thoroughly blended. (You may have to use your hands -- it will be a thick batter, verging on a dough.)

Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, patting it evenly into place with your hands. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and cut into bars of any size or shape. Place the bars on the prepared baking tray and bake for another 15 minutes, or until golden around the edges. (For extra-crunchy bars, turn off the oven and leave them in there for up to 45 minutes longer.) Remove the bars from the oven, and place them on a rack to cool.

Eat the bars within a few hours, or seal them in a heavy zip-style plastic bag and store in the freezer. For maximum crispness, "refresh" them in a toaster oven after defrosting.

Yield: About 20 medium-sized bars

Variations:
Protein Boosters
You can make the main recipe with any combination of the following adjustments:

• Replace the canola oil with 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter (softened in a microwave).
• Replace the flour with quinoa, ground to a powder in a blender or an electric spice grinder.
• Replace the yogurt with mashed silken to****oft or firm). Add an extra pinch of salt.
• Add 2 to 3 tablespoons powdered egg whites.
• Add up to 1 cup chopped nuts and/or sunflower seeds.

Cook's Notes:
These homemade bars are very economical, and you get to select all the ingredients according to your own standards, needs, and taste. For nondairy bars, replace the yogurt with unsweetened applesauce, canned pumpkin, or mashed banana. (Or try the silken tofu option in the Protein Boosters box.) Add an extra pinch of salt if using pumpkin or silken tofu. The range of sugar allows you to make these bars sweeter or not, according to your taste.

 

No Bake Protein Bar

5 tbsp natural peanut butter (chunky or smooth) I
1/2 cup dry oats or whole grain hot cereal (uncooked)
1/2 cup oat flour (*oat flour recipe at the bottom)
6 scoops chocolate whey protein
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons flax seeds (optional)
1 cup non-fat dry milk
1/2 cup water (depending on what type of protein you use, you may need to add more)
Splenda (optional) If not sweet enough as is, add a packet or two of Splenda for your taste.

-Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
-Combine dry ingredients (including optional Splenda) in a medium size bowl and mix well.
-Add peanut butter and mix - the mixture will be crumbly and dry.
-Add water & vanilla.
-Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, everything until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky.
-Spread dough into pan using a clean wooden spoon or spatula that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
-Refrigerate a few hours (or freeze for an hour) and cut into 9 squares.
-Wrap bars individually (use sandwich bags or plastic wrap) or store in covered container between sheets of wax paper. Keep refrigerated.

* Making Oatmeal/Oat Flour: all you need to do is put a cup or two of oatmeal in a regular household blender or Magic Bullet and blend it on high...it will turn into a flour. Store in a covered bowl in the pantry. It takes 1 minute and is VERY easy and cheap alternative to buying in the store.

Protein Bar Modifications: Use vanilla protein and replace ~1/4 cup of the oatflour with a variety of nuts, seeds, or dried berries. Chopped almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, peanuts, flax seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, raisins, or dried cranberries would all work well.
