Easy Homemade Protein Bars (Cinnamon Roll)

I need protein to keep me full and have been loving protein bars to help fill me up. I’ve tried a few different brands out there…some are totally full of chemicals (not going to name names here), while others are full of real ingredients (ie: Rx bars!).

My solution? Let’s make homemade protein bars! I was surprised at how easy these were to prepare and not only that, but they rival pretty much any protein out there in terms of flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (40 g; a heaping 1/2 cup)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup rolled oats (96 g)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (26 g)
• 1/2 cup natural almond butter (118 g)
• 1/4 cup honey (74 g)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon water *if needed
• sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Combine the protein powder, cinnamon and rolled oats in a 7 cup food processor fitted with a steel blade. Blend until the oats are powdery and blended.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the coconut oil. Stir in the almond butter, honey and vanilla extract until smooth.
