Delicious Peanut Butter Protein Bars

[leadmeastray88]

These things are amazing, you won't want to wait for them to cool before digging in!

1/2 cup butter (or substitute, your preference)

1/2 cup natural crunchy peanut butter

1 cup honey

1 cup gluten free vanilla protein powder

3 cups quinoa flakes

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup of nuts/seeds (I took a 1/2 cup measure and filled it with sunflower, sesame and flax seeds)

1/2 cup raisins/dried cranberries (optional)

1- Combine butter, peanut butter and honey in a saucepan and melt together

2- Combine other ingredients in a large mixing bowl

3- Add the melted butters/honey to the dry ingredients and mix well

4- Press into an ungreased 9x9 inch pan (or 9x11 if you want a shallower bar)

5- Refrigerate until cooled through and cut into squares

I wrapped mine individually with plastic wrap and stick them in the freezer, and grab them on the go!

Hope you enjoy them!
