Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Line an 8x8 or 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of coconut milk and 3 tablespoons of honey.
- Microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is warm and the honey is easily mixable with the coconut milk.
- Stir the mixture until it is well combined.
- Add 1.33 cups of peanut butter to the bowl with the coconut milk and honey mixture.
- Stir until the peanut butter is completely incorporated, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Gradually add the 5 cups of oats to the bowl, stirring as you go. Mix well until all the oats are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
- Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan.
- Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Make sure to compact it well to help the bars hold together.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm.
- Once the mixture has set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the pan.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the mixture into bars of your desired size.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Enjoy your homemade, no-bake peanut butter coconut oat protein bars as a quick and nutritious snack!
Tips:
- Make sure to use a creamy peanut butter for smooth mixing and better texture.
- If you prefer your bars to be a bit sweeter, you can add extra honey or a splash of vanilla extract.
- To make cutting easier, refrigerate the mixture for about 20 minutes before slicing into bars.
- If you have dietary restrictions, feel free to substitute ingredients like using almond butter instead of peanut butter or maple syrup instead of honey.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh longer, up to a week.
