1 cup whole milk
1 cup peanut butter
2 cups oats (not instant)
225g protein powder (I used Dymatize Gourmet Vanilla ISO 100 whey - 8 scoops NOT PACKED)
1 tbsp honey
1/2 cup cold water

In small sauce pan, heat milk, peanut butter, and honey over medium-low heat and whisk until creamed.

Set aside and let cool for 2-3 mins.

In large mixing bowl, combine oats and protein powder until well mixed. Slowly stir in PB mixture until a thick paste forms adding water as needed (add water 1 tbsp at a time so the paste doesn't get too mushy) so the paste isn't so thick that you can't spread it in the pan. Line glass baking dish with parchment paper, and pour paste into dish spreading evenly. Let cool until paste is firm.

Cut into 16 individual-sized bars. Refrigerate for storage.

Each bar is 185 calories with 9g carbs, 18g protein, and 8g fat as made. If you use another protein powder, adjust accordingly.

They are a bit soft and gooey even cooled, but taste pretty good for homemade high-protein bars. Hope you will enjoy them.
