these are a great way to eat healthy and give yourself a lift. Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups natural peanut butter |
2 cups honey |
2-1/4 cups protein powder |
3 cups uncooked oatmeal |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/4 cup wheat bran |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preparation: In a double boiler, warm the peanut butter and honey to a smooth consistency. This step can be done in the microwave as well-just heat both ingredients for 70 to 90 seconds. In a mixing bowl, stir together all remaining dry ingredients. Pour in the peanut-butter mixture and stir until completely combined. Spread uniformly into a brownie pan. Slice into 12 to 16 pieces, and then wrap each piece in plastic wrap.
2. Each Granola Nut Protein Bar costs 25 to 35 cents to make, as opposed to 99 cents and up for store-bought energy bars. On top of that, if you do use organic ingredients, you won't believe the difference!
