- 2-4 tbsps flax seed
- 1-2 scoops protein powder
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut unsweetened
- ¼ cup chopped nuts almonds/walnuts/cashews
- ¼ cup craisins raisins, chocolate chips - anything yummy :)
Instructions
- Chop the nuts and dried fruit, if you're using them.
- Add peanut butter, honey, oats, and any optional ingredients into a bowl and mix them well. 1 cup peanut butter 1 cup honey 3 cups oats
- Grab a 9x9 baking sheet and line it with some parchment paper. If you don't have a 9x9 pan, any pan will do–just keep an eye on how thick your bars are.
- Pour the peanut butter mixture onto the parchment paper. This will help you handle the granola bars to shape them.
- Cover the mixture up with another piece of parchment paper, and begin rolling the bars flat. You can use a can of soda or beans if you don't have a rolling pin that will fit inside the pan.
- After your oat mixture is nice and flat, throw the top piece of parchment away and use the bottom one to lift out your granola bars onto a cooling rack.
- Push the granola into a nice firm square on all sides, then let it sit in the fridge and harden for an hour or so if you have the time. They'll be a little easier to cut, but the rest time is optional.
- Cut your granola bars. I use a pizza cutter.
