Servings: 10 bars
Calories: 200kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- ½ cup Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey
- ½ cup almond butter (or your preferred nut butter)
- ½ cup almonds chopped
- ½ cup protein powder (vanilla or your choice of flavour)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients, ensuring that the almonds are roughly chopped. Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, protein powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Warm Nut Butter and Honey: In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, gently warm the almond butter and Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey until they are easy to mix. This makes them easier to incorporate into the dry ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Once the almond butter and honey are warm, stir in the vanilla extract. Mix until you have a smooth, well-combined wet mixture.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the warm honey and nut butter mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until all the dry ingredients are well coated and the mixture starts to come together.
- Press into Pan: Transfer the mixture into the lined baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
- Chill and Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the bars to set. This will make them easier to cut.
- Cut into Bars: Once the mixture has set, remove it from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to cut it into bars. You can make 10-12 bars, depending on your preferred size.
- Store or Enjoy: Store the Honey and Almond Protein Bars in an airtight container in the fridge for freshness. Grab one before your workout for an energy boost or enjoy it as a post-workout snack.
