Are you tired of the high cost of protein bars? ...not to mention the not so great ingredients? I certainly have been... especially with a big strong man in the house who can eat these things like candy. I crossed my fingers and gave it a whirl. They turned out amazing!!! I'm pretty proud of myself, and so is my Hunny. :) These were really fun to make. Switch up the ingredients and add whatever you like...have fun with them. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons organic almond butter

3 tablespoons freshly ground flax seeds

1/4 cup roughly chopped raw pecans

1/4 cup unsweetened organic shredded coconut

1/4 cup roughly chopped raw pepitas

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup organic raw oats

1/4 cup organic clover honey

1/2 teaspoon organic ground vietnamese cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder

1/4 cup fresh unsweetened almond milk

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven to 325. Mix everything in a bowl with a spoon until a thick paste forms. Divide into eight parts; then shape into bars. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet (organic coconut oil) and bake for 10 minutes. Yields approx 8 bars.
2. Wrap individually & store in fridge. They will keep for about 1 week. Remember, these aren't cookies - they will be dense like a protein bar. But - oh so much better tasting, less money & better for you than a store bought one. :).
