Powerhouse Protein Bars 

These bars have a secret protein packed grain we typically don't see in our snacks or breakfast foods but it's perfect crunch and nutty flavor makes it the star of these bars. 

​

The oats and quinoa used get nice and cozy in the oven for a toasty flavor and excellent plant protein powerhouse. 

​

I like to make a big batch of these to snack on all week instead of grabbing store bought bars and they're even husband approved. Give these a try and see how you like them in place of your standard grab and go bar. 

​

 

Total Time : 15 minutes | Servings : 12 bars

​

Ingredients :

1 cup dry quinoa

1 cup oats

1/2 cup chia seeds

2 tablespoons flax meal

1 cup peanut butter (any nut butter will do)

1/4 cup dark cocoa powder

1/4 cup rice protein (can omit)

4 tablespoons coconut oil

2 tablespoons maple syrup

​

Instructions :

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread rinsed and dried quinoa and oats on baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes to toast grains.

​

2. When grains come out of oven, in a saucepan over medium low heat combine peanut butter, cocoa powder, protein powder, coconut oil and honey if you use it.

​

3. Pour dry oats and quinoa in bowl and add chia seeds and flax meal. When liquid mixture is combined pour on top of dry ingredients and combine.

​

4. Pour mixture into a lined 8X8 pan and put into fridge to firm up. I have to admit I was tasting these before they were done 

​

5. After about 30 minutes remove from fridge and slice into bars.
