DABs Oatmeal Protein Bars


Ingredients
1 cup skim milk
1 cup oatmeal (not the quick oat variety)

4 Tablespoons Organic powdered peanut butter
1 box (28 grams) Hyvee California Raisins
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2 teaspoons baking powder (you can omit this to reduce the sodium)
3 scoops Beverly Ultimate Muscle Protein, Vanilla
¼ cup Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Chips

Directions
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F
  2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl
  3. Mixture will be sticky
  4. Spoon into lightly greased baking pan
  5. Bake for 35 minutes
  6. Cool, cut and store in sealed container in refrigerator
  • Since there are no preservatives, I would try to eat these within 4 days.  I don’t know the upper limit in terms of how long they will stay fresh.

  1. A few of you have been in touch so I just wanted to add a few notes. First, my apologies for missing the 1 cup oatmeal! i appreciate the emails,mi have updated the recipe and nutritional info.
    The "bars" are about 3/4 inch thick and have a brownie like consistency. If you use a larger pan you may get the flat and crunch variety but I prefer thick and softer. You can add cinnamon, chia seeds, wheat germ and other goodies to the recipe. Finally, these are not sweet like store purchased "protein bars" which often have added sugars.
