Yield: 6 Bars
Calories: 285kcal
Cost: $4
- 4.5 Ounces Dates Whole Pitted
- 3.9 Ounces Greek Yogurt Your Choice Flavor
- 1 Cup Rolled Oats
- 2.5 Scoops Protein Powder Your Choice Flavor
- 8 Tablespoons Peanut Butter
Process your Dates by pulsing them until a single date ball forms
Mix together your Greek Yogurt, Rolled Oats, Peanut Butter, and Protein Powder in a mixing bowl
Add and mix in your processed Dates
Mix in anything else you want like nuts, hemp seeds, chocolate chips, ground cinnamon, or dried fruit
Line a baking pan (I used a 9 1/2x13'' quarter sheet) or dish with some parchment paper
Add your mix onto your pan or dish and shape it using your hands (keep them damp and it won't be as sticky)
Top with whatever you want like some nuts or chocolate chips
Bake them in the oven on 350F/176C for around 10-12 minutes or until your edges turn golden brown
Alternatively you can put them into the fridge for a few hours to harden up if you don't want them baked (not as travel friendly)
Remove them from the oven or fridge and cut them
Baking time will depend on how thick or thin your bars are so keep an eye on them!
