High Protein Bar Recipe

Over the past few months I’ve been experimenting to find the perfect protein bar recipe. When I first started I was experimenting with a low carb diet and I used nut meal, nuts and protein powder. However the recipe’s came out very dry and I was really looking for something that would last the whole week.

So when I came back onto a higher carbohydrate diet I started adding oats and experimenting around with different amounts of fruit and nuts. I think I’ve got it pretty close to perfect now. Here’s the recipe of my favourite:

Fruit and Nut Protein Bar

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
  • 1/2 cup sultanas
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried ginger, chopped
  • 2 cups oats, raw
  • 4 scoops (120g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup skim milkprotein bar 1

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir up. Add just enough water so that the mixture becomes wet all the way through (you can experiment with water amount from batch to batch). Spread (you should have to spread it like a wet dough) the mixture in a olive oil sprayed small baking tray (8″x8″).

Cook in a preheated oven for 20-30 minutes on 180º C (350ºF). The top should become golden and look glazed. Cut into 8 pieces. Eat immediately or let it cool for a good hour or so and store in a tupperware container in the fridge. The pictured bar has almonds and chopped dried ginger on top.

Eat it as a snack for morning tea or as post workout nutrition. You will never be satisfied by a measly store bought muesli bar again! Keep your eyes out for more high protein snacks in the future.
