"Are you tired of the high cost of protein bars? ...not to mention the not so great ingredients? I certainly have been... especially with a big strong man in the house who can eat these things like candy. I crossed my fingers and gave it a whirl. They turned out amazing!!! I'm pretty proud of myself, and so is my Hunny. :) These were really fun to make. Switch up the ingredients and add whatever you like...have fun with them. Hope you enjoy!"

ingredients

44.37 ml organic almond butter
44.37 ml freshly ground flax seeds
59.14 ml roughly chopped raw pecans
59.14 ml unsweetened organic shredded coconut
59.14 ml roughly chopped raw pepitas
59.14 ml dried cranberries
59.14 ml organic raw oats
59.14 ml organic clover honey
2.46 ml organic ground vietnamese cinnamon
2.46 ml ground ginger
2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
59.14 ml fresh unsweetened almond milk

directions

Preheat Oven to 325. Mix everything in a bowl with a spoon until a thick paste forms. Divide into eight parts; then shape into bars. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet (organic coconut oil) and bake for 10 minutes. Yields approx 8 bars.
Wrap individually & store in fridge. They will keep for about 1 week. Remember, these aren't cookies -- they will be dense like a protein bar. But -- oh so much better tasting, less money & better for you than a store bought one. :).
