Home made protein snack bar

We all look for healthy snacks to eat between meals, and it can often be hard to find one with a good balance of carbs / fats / protein.
Well here you go! Some of my own home made protein bars! They take about 5 mins to make, and 12 mins in the oven, so no excuses!

150g Oats
2-3 tablespoons of Whole Earth Organic Peanut Butter
3 Handfulls raisins
140g Chocolate Protein Powder (great with a chocolate and banana mix!)
2 Bananas mashed
50g Golden Caster Sugar
400 ml Milk (goats, rice lacto free for those that are lactose intolerant!)
5 tablespoons of ground almonds and brazil nuts

Pre heat the oven to 160degs.
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl, then spoon into a buttered/greased cake tin or tray. Aim to keep it no more than 1" high.
Place into the oven and cook for 12mins.

Once you remove them, I cut them into good 6" by 3" slices, leave for 5 mins then remove to cool. I have found they keep fresher by cling film wrapping them individually once cooled.

Eat these as a snack, or pre workout and you won't go wrong! Enjoy!
