Gluten, Dairy and Sugar free protein bars

Gluten, Dairy and Sugar free protein bars

These basic bars are great any time as a filling snack or pick me up, or if you are on a restricted diet while doing a cleanse. This is a variation to another bar recipe that is a little sweeter with more ingredients, that I will post soon.

2 cups gluten free oats
2 cups puffed millet (or puffed rice)
2 cups almonds and walnuts or your favorite nut mix
½ cup ground flax
1 ½ cups almond butter (or other nut butters)
1tbs coconut oil
½ cup -1 cup apple sauce

1 cup chocolate protein powder *

1.Pulse almonds and oats in a food processor until they are a medium fine texture add nut butter and coconut oil, place in large bowl.(If you have a large enough food processor, you can make the whole recipe in it) mix in flax, millet and protein powder and half a cup of apple sauce.

2.Mix with your hands until all ingredients are combined, adding more apple sauce as needed. The mixture should stick together.

3.Place mixture on a rimmed baking sheet and press flat with hands, if it sticks to your hands sprinkle top with ground oats or ground almonds, then using a rolling pin, keep pressing the bars firmly until the mixture is uniformly flat.

4.Pplace pan in freezer for half an hour, cut in to bars and store in fridge or freezer. A pizza cutter works great to cut them

 

*( I used Vega sport performance protein powder, which is sweetened with Stevia, but you can use your favorite brand.)
