Peanut butter Protein Bars

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with peanut butter. It’s so delicious and I am constantly looking for excuses to eat it. That’s why when I found this recipe, I knew I had to make it. It is supposed to be a breakfasty type bar from Chocolate Covered Katie.

It has only 5 ingredients and requires no baking. All you do is mix together, mold, and chill.

I was out of brown sugar (which is one of the 5 ingredients that it calls for) so I used a honey, maple syrup, and Stevia substitute. I don’t believe that it took away any of the intended flavor but it might have messed with the intended texture.

This was also the protein powder that I used. All I did was mix all the ingredients together and shape them into bars. I then froze them. They have been in the freezer since then.

Having now tried the bars, I can’t picture them being a breakfast bar or even anything outside of a frozen peanut buttery treat. And that’s probably because I didn’t have the actual brown sugar to create the correct texture. However, the taste was superb! They turned out delicious even without brown sugar!
