    how many protons/serving?
    you'd have to contact a molecular chemist to figure that one out.

    lol@ people who can't figure out the cals. My protein powder is only 78 cals per serving - everyone has different powder, everyone will make different sized bars, everyone will use different peanut butter!!

    Count YOUR calories, and be OCD about it otherwise you will simply over/under estimate and find reaching your goal harder :flowerforyou:



    OMG thank you for saying this!!!!! people who expect everything to be handed to them drive me crazzzzzzzzy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anything i could substitute for the peanut butter? I'm allergic

    I make my own recipe date flap jack. Recipe Below:-

    225 grams Jumbo Oats
    100g Seed and nut mix - I use 10g chia seeds, 40g desiccated coconut and 50g of pecans/walnuts - chopped. Add to the oats and combine.
    200 grams Pitted Dated - Chop and add to 100 ml water in a saucepan. On a medium heat cook until all the water is absorbed and the dates become a paste.
    75g Butter
    50g of Soft Brown Sugar - Add the butter and sugar to the date 'paste' and continue to heat through until everything is melted and combined.
    Add date mixture to the oats/seeds/nuts and combine fully.

    Line a 8 inch square tin with greaseproof paper and press the mixture into the tin. Be firm and compact it down. Next score the top of the flap jack 5 x 5 = 25 pieces (dont cut all the way through - scoring helps to cut into equal pieces once cooked.

    Bake in the oven electric 160 for 40 minutes.

    To my calculations each piece comes out at 110 calories, 4.8g fat, 14.5g carbs, 1.6g protein.

    So people who post recipes, why can't you enter them into the 'recipe' app here on MFP and post the breakdown for calories, protein, carbs, etc.? Certainly would be thoughtful, helpful and considerate.

    How about YOU do your own homework in the recipe builder on MFP because you may or may not use the same brands of ingredients, or you may decide on different portion sizes for yourself?

    Seriously, it isn't hard. :frown:


    No kidding!! My mind is blown at the people who apparently can't figure it out themselves. The OP posts a great recipe and people actually have the balls to complain. All 3 of the ingredients Im going to use are different than his, so him posting the data would be pointless.

    I made these last night and was pleasantly surprised! I used quick oats, smooth peanut butter, and a scoop of chocolate protein powder and they are great! I wrapped them in saran wrap and threw them in the freezer! I got 11 made but should have made them a bit bigger. There is only 8 grams of protein per bar, but still a healthy little snack!! Oh ya, I added flax seeds as well!!
