Calling them Bellina Bars, hehe!
Saw a recipe on here and modified it a bit!
Ingredients:
1 cup Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
6 heaping scoops Chocolate Protein Powder (for my brand, Sweet Life Chocolate Protein Supplement, it came out to exactly 8oz.)
6 tablespoons Smuckers Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup water
1.) Combine dry ingredients, then add pb, mix well.
2.) Add water, mix, dough will be sticky.
3.) Line a loaf pan (12x4) w/ wax paper, add dough & distrubute evenly throughout pan, pushing down with spatula/spoon
4.) Place another piece of wax paper on top of pressed dough, refridgerate for 2 hrs. or place in freezer for 30mins.
5.) Remove the wax paper on top and lift up bottom piece's excess wax paper to free the completed dough. Cut in half, then divide each into 5 even sections. Enjoy

The oats soak up most of the water/pb moisture, they are very chewy, not hard at all!
Also, yes, I keep them refridgerated, or you can freeze them (wrapped in wax paper & sealed in a ziploc freezer bag) for future use. I know how much I eat protein bars, so they won't last in my fridge longer than a week! lol0 -

I haven't tried them w/ quick oats, I say give it a try on a way smaller scale to see how they turn out w/ out wasting the pb & powder! Or, maybe check online for an alternative recipe using those types of oats, I'm sure there are some out there!0
