Outstanding! My active teenage boys are always asking me to make more. I recommend double batch in 9×13 pan. Yes, easy to customize.

Really good. My husband loved these and it saves a lot of money since he works outside and eats a protein bar everyday. I like that you can customize these.

These are so good! My husband has been buying protein bars and wow are those things pricey! I tried these and the first time it was more of a mix (a little dry and crumbly)– however, it tasted great and we sprinkled it in our oatmeal. After being a little more careful with my measurements (esp. the moisture) they turned out perfectly! My hubby took them to the gym with him and they were quickly devoured and recipe requested. They are quick and easy and even my kids (ages 6, 4, and 1) love them!

Thank you for this recipe. I am a weight loss surgery patient, so protein bars are important for my life. I made these last night, and they are so wonderful. It’s nice knowing exactly what’s in my protein bars, without hidden sugars or unrecognizable ingredients. These are easy and delicious, and I love how “tweakable” the recipe is. I used unflavored protein powder with some Splenda, as well as sugar free honey. I think I’ll try sugar free maple syrup next time for added flavor. Everything else I followed exactly. Great job on these! I have shared the recipe at many of my favorite bariatric blogs.

Bravo! 5-Stars from me!
I made this recipe exactly as written, except one thing: after chilling the bars in the refrigerator, I painted the tops of the bars with 2 oz. of melted semi-sweet chocolate.
Here’s some great data about the 3-scoops of unsweetened protein powder version of the bars:
PER BAR:
18 g protein
8 g sugars, including lactose (if you paint them with semi-sweet chocolate)
6 g sugars, including lactose (if you don’t paint them with semi-sweet chocolate)
My husband LOVES these bars even more than store-bought protein bars – even better than the new badly-named “Think Thin” bars.*
I have not tried this recipe yet with no honey. But, when I do, I will comment again!
*Note: People – don’t use artificial sweeteners! They are killers and/or frauds.

How much are two scoops or protein powder? I made these and I think the protein scoop I had was too big because the bars were very crumbly. They were still delicious though…I just want to know how many tablespoons or cups the protein powder is. Thanks!

I didn’t have any oats, so I used some leftover cooked quinoa that I had in the fridge. I should have cut back on the water, because the bars didn’t set up as well. But the texture that the quinoa gave the bars was like a rice krispie treat. Plus, they are higher in protein than oats. I also used whole wheat flour instead of oat flour, because it was what I had. Husband loves these, will definitely make again but with my modifications. Thanks for this!
