    Another great replacement could be using PB2 instead of peanut butter to cut on the fat and not the protein, or using a hybrid: so almond and peanut butter, or sunflower and almond butter instead of just peanut butter!

    Ooh, I'll have fun with this :) I've got hemp protein that needs using! And chai.. I'll post if they turn out well!

    I tried it and they came out too gooey. I don't know if I did something wrong. Will try them again and see what happens. :tongue:

    I'd say add more protein powder?

    The issue with making these is that everyone's powder scoops are different sizes. That's why I said "exactly 8oz", b/c just saying a certain number of scoops leaves possible room for error :flowerforyou:

    That's what I had happen previously. After seeing a couple posts here I am wondering if it's the difference between oats and quick oats (I used quick, this recipe calls for regular). Which did you use?

    I'm not sure of the difference, since I haven't tried the quick kind, but the old fashioned oats I use work really well!

    If the dough is really gooey, the solution is adding a little more powder, until it reaches a tacky but firm consistency. Make sure you're properly measuring the water & pb too :)

    I used Quick Oats too. I will def try it again and see what I get...lol

    I also googled it online and some people use Oat Flour (which you can make yourself by putting oats into the food processor until it grinds them up, etc)... Maybe I should try that too?

    I haven't tried oat flour, sounds yummy, though!


    Below are some I made late last night. I cut them well before the 2 hrs. chill time in fridge and individually wrapped each in wax paper then refridgerated them overnight! Because I wrapped them prior to them being totally hardened, they have a rounded top look. What's nice about them being individually wrapped, is that for the days I'm on the go, I can just grab one quickly!

    Thanks so much for the recipe!

    THANKS bellina for this great recipe!!!

    I made them and they turned out perfect.

    I made my homemade roasted, no salt peanuts. I also used Eas % whey protein powder, 1/4 cup grounded flex seeds (which I grounded myself), 1/2 cup all natural wheat bran and 1/2 cup quaker quick oats (what I had on hand). I mixed the dry, then added my own peanut butter, then water 3/4 cup..mixed it all with my hands. it formed a ball so I pressed it down into a loaf pan.

    I will be saving lots of money, I was buying Pure Protein Protein bars, now I'll be making these instead.

    I made 10 bars
    Calories: 160
    carbs: 9
    fat: 6
    protein: 19
    fiber: 4
    sodium: 36

    Thanks you thanks you so much bellina for posting these!!!:flowerforyou:
