2018 Week 19 No Bake Granola Protein Bars

Ingredients:

Dry:

1 & 3/4 C rolled oats

1 C crisp puffed brown rice cereal

1/4 C pumpkin seeds

1/4 C sunflower seeds

1/4 C chia seeds OR 1/8 C finely ground flaxseed (both optional)

1/4 C unsweetened coconut (optional)

1 scoop No Whey (pea protein powder)

Wet:

1/2 C brown rice syrup or coconut nectar 

1/3 C creamy peanut butter

1 tsp. vanilla extract 

Instructions:

1) Add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl. Mix them together.

2) In a separate (microwave safe) bowl, mix together the wet ingredients, then microwave them for about 20 to 30 seconds. This will make it easier to mix and add to the dry ingredients since it’s really sticky!

3) Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix! Keep mixing until the wet binding ingredients are as well distributed as possible. Put some muscle into it!

4) Put the mixture into a shallow pan and flatten it down. Place pan in fridge to let the bars chill/set.

5) After they set up in the fridge cut them into bars, then wrap them up in foil and store back in the fridge for easy grab and go!
