    Here are 2 types of Protien bars that I have made.... I subistute Muscle Milk for the Skim milk for extra protein... I also add some mini chocolate chips for the kids...like a half cup, to give then a little sweetness... If you dont want to use the Pam spray just line the bottom with waxed or parchment paper

    Bulking Bar:
    Combine in large mixing bowl:

    3 Cups Oatmeal
    1/2 Cup Natural Peanut butter
    1 cup Skim Milk
    4 Scoops Protein Powder
    dash of cinnamon
    Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)
    use a large spoon to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)
    top with 4-8 packets splenda
    put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:

    11g fat (good monounsaturated fats)
    26g carbs
    21g protein
    285 calories

    Cutting Bar: (Note: will not be super firm like store bought, processed protein bars, it will be a bit more moist, but you can still pick it up with your hands)
    Combine in Large Mixing Bowl

    8 Scoops Whey (Vanilla is very good)
    3 Cups Oats
    1 Package Sugar Free Fat Free Pudding (Any flavor is good)
    2 Cups Skim Milk

    Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes)
    Use a large spoon to spread out the mix into the bottom of a Pam-sprayed glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)
    put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:

    3g fat
    28g carbs
    29g protein
    257 calories

    if you are looking for more Protien try to subistute the water with Muscle Milk.... I have made similar protien bars that my kids even love...

    That's a great idea, thank you!

    These sound great! Calorically, a little high for me as an everyday bar, I try to keep mine under 200cal (usually for breakfast), but as a large meal replacement like lunch/dinner, your recipes would work great!!!

    Nice to see yours turned out solid like actual bars not like globs due to other people's recopies here on MFP – can you tell I'm a little bitter, LOL, it’s all good I got over it.

    Perhaps I'll give it another go but I'm pretty sure I had an almost identical recipe. Someone had said milk binds better but you used water like I did, hmmm. Oh we'll see :)

    Lol! Maybe type of PB used makes a difference? Natural pb's texture is so different from other kinds! I made sure to mix everything thoroughly, b/c I also initially worried that they would crumble, but the binded really well!! Best of luck, if you give it another try!
