I have been looking for a long time for a protein bar, or at least something close, that didn't taste either flat or just plain-old bad. I tweaked this one to get around my tree-nut allergies and finally have the recipe I'd been seeking! These are yummy, and my teenage daughter even likes them! Store refrigerated.

Made these last night for a Christmas Eve treat and they were fantastic!! Only difference was I did M&Ms and milk chocolate chips. I also used Silk vanilla almond milk instead of non-fat milk. Turned out great! Read More

This is a great base recipe that can be adjusted to your needs. I like pumpkin seeds in mine with raisin. The other thing I have added is a dash or two of salt and a few dashes of cayenne pepper to pop the falvour. Read More

This is a fantastic recipe and a staple in our household. I often double it so that I have snacks and quick breakfasts on hand for the kids. In the absence of protein powder use about a Tbs more peanut butter 1 Tbs less milk and an additional 1-2 tsp of honey to taste (I use old fashioned oats so they don't like to bind as well as quick oats but either works with these changes.) I enjoy changing this recipe around to vary it up. Read More

Wow these are fantastic and taste better than protein bars. I used m&ms since I had no chocolate chips on hand. Thanks for sharing! Read More

Oh. My. These little guys are amazing. Instead of chocolate chips, I added raw organic cocoa powder. And sweetened vanilla almond milk instead of the low fat milk. Kept all other ingredients the same. Next time, I will add just a little more honey, peanut butter, and almond milk to keep it all together a little bit better, as they are a tad crumbly. But overall, these will be a regular item in my fridge for a post workout snack and as something to nibble on at swim meets. Read More

Great option to get a boost of protein if you are tired of protein shakes. Used chocolate powder in place of the vanilla to boost the chocolate factor. Read More

I made these with a group of kids. Due to a peanut allergy I used almond butter. They were delicious with great texture and crunch. I made double batch and refrigerated one batch The rest were gobbled up within minutes. I will be making these again and again! Thanks for sharing! Read More
