Here's a few recipes I found for protein bars.
Protein/meal replacement bars
RECIPE 1
Combine in large mixing bowl:
3 Cups oats
1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
1 cup milk ( preferably skimmed)
3 Scoops favourite protein powder (chocolate is best!)
Sprinkle of cinnamon (if desired)
Mix until a sticky batter is formed (may take a few minutes and is an arm workout in it self!)
Use a large spoon to spread out the mix into the bottom of a glass or metal cooking tray (spread until even)
Sprinkle with more cinnamon or something like splenda to taste.
Put in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 equal bars that yield:-

beat eggs, flavourings, and peanut butter. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture. With an electric mixer, slowly add the water until dough becomes a “gooey play-dough” consistency. Pour batter in lined pan, spreading, or pressing dough to an even thickness.
