Ingredients
[star_list]- 1 cup protein powder
- 2 cups oats
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 ripe bananas (if they aren’t ripe you can microwave quickly to soften)
- 1/4 cup honey
Method
- Combine all ingredients into a large bowl and stir well.
- Spoon mixture into a large pan with baking paper. We found it easier to press down with damp hands as the spoon was sticking too much.
