    Simple but effective.

    2 tbsp natural PB
    1 tbsp honey
    1/4 scoop protein powder
    1/4 cup oatmeal

    Roll that into a ball and freeze.

    Here's another link for fun stuff to do with protein powder. The peanut butter balls are so freaking delicious I couldn't keep them in the house. If you have more restraint than me, you'll love them though!! Eat up!! :drinker:

    The pumpkin walnut sound delicious! They seem like they have a large quantity of egg--is that because the egg is used for protein, or they don't bake properly without that quantity of egg?

    Otrlynn....Well, idk exactly, but for me it helps bump up the protein. It's only 7 egg whites and 2 yolks for 24 servings, so you don't get much egg per bar really. In fact, sometimes I add a couple more just for grins and giggles... Hehehe

    The original Jamie Eason recipe only calls for 5 egg whites, but mine are yummier ;)

    I just bought a book called Jenny Grothe 75 ways to love oatmeal. There are so many delicious protein/oat bars, baked oatmeal and crock pot oatmeal/ steel oats. I make the banana bread oatmeal all the time and LOVE it.
    Enjoy

    Chocolate-Pecan Protein Bars

    This is my variation of Jamie Eason’s Chocolate Protein bars. The link to the original recipe is here:
    http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/video-jamie-eason-chocolate-protein-bars.htm
    Mine have more calories, protein, fiber, and awesomeness that the originals...I added more eggs, more protein powder, plus Chia Seeds, Ground Flax, and Pecans =D After you bake these, store in the fridge and re-heat as needed. You can also eat them cold if you're into that kind of thing >:-(

    Dry Ingredients:
    1 cup Oat Flour (you can buy the flour or just blend up Old Fashioned Oats--it takes 60 seconds tops)
    2 1/2 scoops Vanilla Whey protein powder
    1/2 tsp Baking Soda
    1/4 tsp Salt
    3 TBSP Baking Cocoa
    1/4 cup Pecans or Walnuts chopped
    4 TBSP Chia Seeds
    4 TBSP Ground Flax

    Wet Ingredients:
    2 whole eggs
    4 egg whites
    1/2 cup Splenda, Stevia, or Ideal Sweetener
    8-10 oz Berry flavored baby food (it's a little more moist with 10 oz)
    4 oz water

    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
    2. Spray 9x 13 glass pyrex dish with Pam (Pam for Baking is best)
    3. Mix Dry ingredients in a mixing bowl
    4. Mix wet ingredients in a separate mixing bowl
    5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix together.
    6. Pour batter into dish and bake for 20-22 minutes. The center should NOT be gooey. If it is, you need to bake a few more minutes.
    7. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!!

    Each Square has
    98 calories
    6.5 gm protein
    4 gm fat
    9 gm carbs

    1/8 tsp allspice
    1/8 tsp nutmeg
    1/4 Cup Walnuts
    4 TBSP chia seeds
    4 TBSP Ground Flax seed

    WET ingredients:
    4 egg whites
    2 whole eggs
    3/4 cup Spenda, Stevia, OR Ideal sweetener
    8 oz baby food carrots
    4 oz water

    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
    2. Spray 9x 13 glass pyrex dish with Pam (Pam for Baking is best)
    3. Mix Dry ingredients in a mixing bowl

    sparkrecipes.com has some great ideas.

    I have made several of their recipes for breakfast- the pumpkin oat bars, the breakfast cookies, a few different kind of muffins. I replace 1/2 of the oil called for with unsweetened applesauce and add protein powder to everything!

    I made the low fat dark chocolate muffins and replaced the cocoa with the chocolate protein powder. They tasted great (even my 6 year old boys loved them!)

    I just made some today..This is my own recipe I figured out and they taste good!


    1/2 cup ground sunflower seeds
    1/4 cup ground flax seed
    1/4 cup hemp seed
    1/4 cup chia seeds
    2 cups oatmeal
    6 tblsp cocoa powder
    4 tblsp protein powder
    vanilla 1 tsp
    salt ( optional)
    stevia and honey 1/4 cup


    mix this up in a bowl
    then add milk( skim or almond)...pour in and stir until nice thick cake like consistency

    press onto parchment lined pan and bake in over for 20 at 325

    i make mine about 1/4 inch to half inch thick..when out of the oven slice into 3 inch by 1 inch pieces and put in freezer bag freeze and remove as needed

    I really dont know what the calories are for each piece..guessing about 175??
