[LOCO]

Here we go The Bigfella's home-made protein bars......Get on 'em every bites a winner!!!LOL.

1 cup Natural peanut butter
8 tablespoons honey
1&1/4 cups whey protein powder
1 cup of uncooked oatmeal

Mix the pb and honey in a bowl, microwave on full for 80 secs. Add the rest and mix together (get your hands in man!!) can add raisins/nuts etc to taste. Smooth into 13x9 tray and leave for 20 mins. Cut into 10 to 12 equal bars and wrap and store in fridge!!

Good luck and happy munching.......you'll be back for more!!

------------------

break down :- protein 20g, carbs 30g and fat 20g of which only 3g are saturated. Those figures are per bar, don't forget your 128g fat divides into 10 to 12 bars and most of the fat in pb is healthy fat which the body uses similar to carbs. The ammounts may vary slightly depending on recipe adjustments, but like trident said if you price up the alternative they are worth the 10 to 15 mins to make.

here is another one:



Ingredients:

300g Oats
25g The Ministry of Fitness 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. Enjoy!

Ed - IMO another 50grams 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.

k, heres the last one:



Brownies

Ingredients:

60 grams chocolate protein powder
3/4 cup oat flour (if you don't have any just put some oats in a blender and chop them until they are powder)
5 tsp fructose (or 3 tbsp sugar)
3 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
a dash salt
2 egg whites
3/4 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla extract – optional
Preparation:

Mix the ingredients together and pour into a greased 8x8 pan.
Bake at 350 degrees farengheit for 18 min.
Makes 9 brownies. Each brownies is 30 40 40 balanced.

Chewy Protein Bars

Nadia says: "Okay, these are not quite like the ones you buy in the store, but I like them. I actually got this recipe from another site. It made 24 bars, but I had to scale it down, because if I have 24 bars in front of me I will eat 24 bars. I have no willpower when it comes to anything chocolate. The original recipe was also very time consuming. This is a simple version. If you really want the full original version then let me know. The original recipe wanted you to boil the fructose and stuff. I just didn't have time (or a candy thermometer) These bars are also balanced 30-40-40 or zone friendly."

Ingredients:

3 tbsp. oatmeal (you can either grind it up into a powder using a blender or just use rolled oats)
3 tbsp. milk (I use 1 %)
35 grams protein powder (I use chocolate)
2 tbsp. peanut butter (you could use almond butter or olive oil as well)
2 tbsp. + 1 teaspoon fructose (you can use 3 tablespoons of sugar as well)
2-tbsp. hot water mixes the oatmeal with the milk.
Preparation:

Add the protein powder and peanut butter. Mix until it looks crumbly. If you have big chunks, then make them smaller by mashing them with a fork.
Mix the fructose with the hot water. Stir until dissolved.
Add the water with fructose to the oatmeal mixture and use your hands to combine everything (make sure they are clean) You really have to use your hands because a spoon or fork just doesn't mix everything properly.
Place the mixture in a wax paper lined container. I use a Tupper ware type container that you can put sandwiches in. It is around 14x12 cm.
Cut into 6 bars and place in the fridge to cool.
Oatmeal Protein Bars:

Ingredients:

3 cups oatmeal
140 grams protein powder
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk
2 egg whites
1 cup apple sauce
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
You can also add fructose or sugar, I find them fine without as my protein powder is sweetened enough.

Preparation:

Combine the above ingredients and put in a oiled (use pam) 9x9 pan.
Bake @ 350 for 35 min.
Makes 8 bars. When they are cool, put them in the fridge or they will go mouldy in a few days.
Nadia says: "I live off these for breakfast. I use chocolate protein powder and I don't always put apple sauce in (I usually don't have any). I just put more milk in. Make sure that the mixture is not too dry, but it shouldn't be watery like soup either or it will take forever to cook. You can also add cinnamon. I do that when I use vanilla protein powder."

Hell yeah, thanks bro. I've recently gotten pretty big into cooking and will be experimenting with this some. Thanks for getting me started. I gotta find something to replace the peanut butter though. Yuck! Also need a low-carb version...
