Apple Banana Protein Power Bars are a nutritious and delicious treat that are ideal for a quick breakfast or post-workout snack. Packed with protein, fiber, and natural sweetness, they offer a perfect balance of nutrients to keep you energized and satisfied throughout the day. By combining wholesome ingredients such as oats, whey protein powder, almond milk, banana, peanut butter, and apple, these bars are easy to make and perfect for meal prepping.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you prefer baked bars. Otherwise, these can be made as no-bake bars.
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- Wash and core the apple. Cut it into small pieces.
- Peel the banana and slice it into chunks.
- Add the banana, apple chunks, almond milk, and peanut butter to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth. This mixture will serve as the binding agent for your protein bars.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats and whey protein powder. Mix well to ensure the powder and oats are evenly distributed.
- Pour the blended wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Stir thoroughly to combine until you have a dense mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, pressing down firmly to ensure there are no air pockets.
- If you prefer baked bars, place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The bars are done when they are firm and lightly golden around the edges.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before cutting.
- Once the bars are firm (after cooling or chilling), lift the slab out of the dish using the parchment paper.
- Cut into 8-10 bars, depending on your preferred size.
- Your Apple Banana Protein Power Bars are now ready to eat! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a longer shelf life, consider freezing them.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas and apples for a sweeter flavor.
- You can customize the recipe by adding extras such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
- If you prefer a different type of milk, feel free to substitute almond milk with your favorite alternative.
- Consider using a silicone baking mold for easier removal of the bars.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them to ensure they hold their shape.
By following these simple steps, you can create a batch of tasty and healthy Apple Banana Protein Power Bars. These bars are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that will help you stay fueled and satisfied. Enjoy them as a quick breakfast, post-workout snack, or a nutritious treat anytime you need a boost of energy.
