Easy no bake peanut butter protein bars
Recipe by Andrea Metzger Emling
2/3 cup peanut butter (best choice: natural with no sugar added, but any store brands work fine too)
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup dry oatmeal (rolled is best, but quick work)
1/4 cup ground flax seeds *
1/8 cup chia seeds* (any seed combination works well)
1/2 cup chopped almonds* (or any chopped nuts)
1/2 cup coconut flakes ( I use sweetened if I use natural peanut butter)*
* As mentioned above, you may omit or increase amounts with any of these. I add the optional dried fruits (cranberries, raisins etc) after the wet and dry ingredients have been mixed well.
* We love a full peanut butter taste, but if it’s too strong on that flavoring, add just a few tablespoons of maple syrup to your mixture for a great flavor variation. I also do this if I want to add a bit more moisture.

1. 1. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
2. Add wet ingredients together in separate bowl and heat in microwave until peanut butter is slightly runny. (It will allow you to add the dry to the wet and then mix easier.)
3. Add dry to wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
4. Once mixed press batter firmly into 8×8 pan.
5. Allow to set in fridge for 30 minutes.
6. Cut and serve or wrap individually for on the go snacks.
Store in air tight container in fridge.
