High-Fiber, High-Protein Breakfast Bars image

I came up with this recipe when my doctor told me I needed to eat more fiber, and I was sick of eating store-bought protein bars for breakfast in the car between the gym and work. Ingredients such as wheat germ, flaxseed, protein powder, peanut butter, and oats make this a healthy way to start the day!

Number Of Ingredients 12

cooking spray
1 ½ cups quick-cooking oats
¼ cup wheat germ
¼ cup ground flax seed
2 tablespoons vanilla-flavored hemp protein powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
3 bananas
¼ cup peanut butter (such as Jif®)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup natural peanut butter, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, letting foil hang down over the sides of the pan; spray pan with cooking spray.
  • Stir oats, wheat germ, flax seed, protein powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. Mash bananas in a separate large bowl and stir 1/4 cup Jif® peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract into bananas, mixing well. Stir dry ingredients into banana mixture and spread into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Spread 1/4 cup natural peanut butter over top.
  • Continue baking until lightly browned on the edges and set, 10 more minutes. Let cool in the pan and lift bars onto a work surface using aluminum foil as handles. Cut into bars, wrap in plastic wrap, and store in refrigerator.

These bars were a complete waste of time and ingredients. They didn't turn out at all like the recipe said they would.

I tried these bars and they were really dry. I don't think I'll be making them again.

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still a good option for a quick breakfast or snack.
