## Power Bars

**Chef:** Wyatt Brege

**Yield:** 10 servings (10 bars)

*An easy no-bake protein bar recipe with the protein of an egg white and the fiber of half an apple.*

### Ingredients

#### Dry
- 2 C Old-Fashioned Oats
- 2 30g Scoop of Vanilla- or Chocolate-flavored Protein Powder (I use Aldi's)
- 2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 C [*optional*] Shredded Coconut, Crushed Nuts, or Granola
- 2 Tbsp [*optional*] Flax Seed, ground

#### Wet
- 1-2 Tbsp Honey *or* Maple Syrup
- 1/4 Cup Apple Sauce
- 2 Tbsp No-stir Peanut Butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

### Directions

1. Mix the 7 dry ingredients, then add remaining wet ingredients, pressing with either a wooden pestle, spoon, or, ideally, a plastic dough scraper or wet hand

2. Line a flat cookie sheet with parchment paper, spray with oil or line with rolled oats

3. Press the mixture into a roughly 1/2" thick layer on the prepared cookie sheet and arrange as a large rectangle

4. (Optional) Sprinkle with coconut, granola, almond slivers, etc

5. Add another parchment paper to the top side, and, using your weight, press with a flat cutting board. Trim or rearrange the rougher edges

6. Cut once across the middle, then divide each half into 5 bars

### Notes

- If you want a dryer protein bar, use coconut or maple sugar in place of honey or maple syrup
- **Substitution:** apple sauce ↔ ripe banana ↔ ripe pear
- **Substitution:** peanut butter ↔ almond butter
- Never be afraid to adjust oats if the mixture is too wet
