No-Bake CHOCO-PEANUT Protein Bar Recipe!
I decided to try out this no-bake recipe today, which contains my 2 favorite ingredients joined together (chocolate & peanut butter) to form a delicious & healthy protein snack!
I prefer using organic and vegan protein sources in my bars, at this point, the only protein powder I found here in Croatia is the Raw Organic Vegan Hemp protein. But I am expecting my “Organic Vanilla Vega Sport Protein Powder” to be shipped pretty soon…can’t wait!!!
Ingredients
-
2 mashed bananas
-
3 cups dry oatmeal
-
4 tbsp. ground flax-seed
-
6 tbsp. raw organic hemp protein (or protein of your choice)
-
-
4 tbsp. shredded coconut
-
½ cup apple sauce
-
½ cup raisins
-
1 tbsp. honey
-
½ cup water
-
1 large dark chocolate bar (approx. 1 cup)
Preparation
-
Mix all the ingredients together except the chocolate (mixture should be somewhat sticky)
-
Line an 8×8 pan with foil and spread mixture equally in the pan
-
Melt the chocolate and spread over the mixture
-
Place the mixture in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving
-
Cut into 20 bars and wrap in plastic wrap or foil and store in freezer
-
Thaw slightly before serving
Each piece (1/24) contains 150 calories and 5 grams of protein. For a higher protein %, feel free to add an extra scoop or two of protein powder to the mix!
MmMmMmMmMmM…this turned out really delicious
Enjoy!

I am going to make these today! I’ve been on the search for soy-free protein bars lately and these look soooo good.
Can you please clarify how much peanut butter to use?
Thanks

I’m sure you will enjoy them as much as I did! It’s half a CUP of peanut butter

Might give this a go with dried cranberries instead of raisins!
