i posted this in another thread with the intention of helping someone meet their protein requirements. figured i'd share it with the rest of y'all. i've seen a few recipes similar to this but i figured what the heck. i just actually finished making them but they're sitting in the fridge as they will be for the next few hrs before i actually try them out. i'll report back and let you all know how they came out. enjoy folks

mmmmmm sounds good. what brand of oats do you use?

unfortunately i use publix quick cooking oats (100% rolled oats). my intentions are to switch over to steel cut oats as i've heard they are less processed.

Blanco, how'd they turn out?

Do you think water could be used instead of milk so refridgeration isn't an issue?

 

[BLANCO7]

they didn't turn out too bad for me tbh. they did come out a bit mushy, not your typical "protein bar" texture but when i switched fridges, the texture seemed to improve and harden up a bit more. i'm thinking of sticking them in the freezer for about an hour and then switching over to the fridge and letting them sit there until i consume them to combat the texture problem i encountered.

these bars proved to very useful when trying to get in those calories in b/w meals, late night munchies, etc.

how did they turn out for YOU all?
