    You can try this one...Basic recipe; modify for your own needs.

    No Bake Protein Bar

    5 tbsp natural peanut butter / almond butter (chunky or smooth)
    ½ cup dry oat meal or whole grain hot cereal (uncooked)
    ½ cup oat flour (double the dry oats if you do not have oat flour)
    6 scoops chocolate whey protein (approximately 132 grams worth of low-carb protein powder)
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    2 tablespoons flax seeds (optional)
    1 cup non-fat dry milk
    1/2 cup water (depending on what type of protein you use, you may need to add more)

    Modifications:
    1. Use vanilla protein and replace ~1/4 cup of the oat flour with a variety of nuts, seeds, or dried berries.
    2. Use PB2 in place of the regular peanut butter.


    PREPARATION:

    Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Combine dry ingredients in a medium size bowl and mix well. Add peanut butter and mix - the mixture will be crumbly and dry. Add water & vanilla. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mix everything until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky. Spread dough into pan using a clean wooden spoon or spatula that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Refrigerate a few hours (or freeze for an hour) and cut into 9 squares. Wrap bars individually (use sandwich bags or plastic wrap) or store in covered container between sheets of wax paper.

    what does it mean when people write bump??!
    When you respond to a post...it goes to your "recent activity"
    When peeps "bump" it's so they can come back to it later and not have to search the boards.
    And YEAH....I'm bumping this!!
    LOL
