Why This Recipe Stands Out
These bars are perfect for a quick energy boost throughout the day. They combine protein and natural ingredients to keep you full and satisfied. Plus, they’re easy to make and customize to your taste.
Directions
Stir the meal powder, oats, peanuts, and raisins together in a big bowl until everything is evenly combined. Next, pour in the almond milk and add the peanut butter, stirring it all up until the mixture comes together nicely. Once it’s mixed, press the sticky mixture firmly into an 8x8-inch baking dish. Cover the pan and pop it in the fridge for at least 3 hours, or even overnight if you have the time. When it’s set, take it out and cut into 24 snack-sized bars. Enjoy!
