I thought I’d try my hand at making my own protein bars!! This is my first attempt, so it may need some tweaking, but these were pretty tasty if I do say so myself.
Chocolate Almond Protein Bars
Ingredients:
1 cup oat flour
1 cup stevia
1 cup protein powder (any flavor)
1 cup ground or sliced almonds
2 cups almond butter
1 1/2 cups 60% cacao chocolate chips
3 eggs
1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
Directions:
Mix well in a stand mixer. Press into baking sheet or pan and bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until the knife comes out clean.

Note: The mix was slightly dry so I added another cup of almond butter to make a total 2 cups. Next time I will omit the oat flour so the mix won’t be as dry and only use 1 cup almond butter in order to cut back on calories and fat. I only added the almond milk to make the mix more dough like.
