Homemade Peanut Butter Granola Protein Bars!

Happy July 1st!! This summer is seriously flying by.


My weekend was full of pool time and lots of yummy and healthy food, and I have a great granola bar recipe for you.


Peanut Butter Granola Protein Bars

Ingredients:
-2 cups oats
-1 cup peanut butter (*organic, natural peanut butter, the only ingredient should be peanuts!)
-2 tbsp. of natural almond butter
-1 tbsp. of natural cocoa powder (*only ingredient should be raw cocoa, no sugar)
-1 scoop of vanilla protein (I use plant fusion)
-1 tbsp. of cinnamon
-1 splash of coconut or almond milk
-1 tbsp of honey


Directions:
Combine oats, cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in the remaining ingredients.

                              




Transfer the granola to a dish and flatten it out. Refrigerate for at least an hour to let it set. Cut into squares.

These bars are honestly so delicious. I always put a square of it on top of vanilla almond yogurt with some fresh berries for dessert, and YUM! Definitely try it out, it's so simple and a great snack to have instead of buying the processed protein and cereal bars from the grocery store.
