I followed the recipe exactly and my bars turned out dry and crumbly.

I'm not sure why this recipe is called 'no-cook'. I had to cook the oats before I could make the bars.

These bars are a great make-ahead snack. I like to make a batch on the weekend and then have them on hand for the week.

These protein bars were surprisingly easy to make and tasted delicious! I used a food processor to blend the ingredients, which made it even easier. I will definitely be making these again.
