Granola Nut Protein Bar - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups natural-style peanut butter
2 cups honey
2 1/4 cups protein powder
3 cups uncooked oatmeal
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup wheat bran

Preparation

In a double boiler, warm the peanut butter and honey to a smooth consistency. This step can be done in the microwave as well--just heat both ingredients for 70 to 90 seconds.
In a mixing bowl, stir together all remaining dry ingredients. Pour in the peanut-butter mixture and stir until completely combined.
Spread uniformly into a brownie pan. Slice into 12 to 16 pieces, then wrap each piece in plastic wrap. Refrigerate or freeze before cutting if mixture does not seem to be hard enough.
Each Granola Nut Protein Bar costs 25 to 35 cents to make, as opposed to 99 cents and up for store-bought energy bars. On top of that, if you do use organic ingredients, you won't believe the difference!
