With people becoming more health conscious these days their focus has also shifted to Protein rich diet which is highly recommended for all the weight watchers who struggle to shed off some extra pounds. To capitalize this opportunity the market is flooded with protein bars these days. They are becoming popular because it's very convenient to have them in your snack or breakfast and you don't need to compromise on your protein nutrition. But, that's also true that these protein bars are priced very high. So, I thought why not make these bars at home and eat healthy everyday. There are two versions of these bars with protein supplement powder (easily available in market ) and without protein powder. Try out this recipe and let me know how it turned out to be. I have made it without honey as people say honey looses its nutritional properties on heating. This is the 'No Bake' version of the Granola Bars.
Homemade Oats/Granola Protein Bar without Honey:
Total Time: 60 Minutes
Cooking Time: 20 Minutes
Serves : 10 Bars
Ingredients:
1 Cup Cornflakes
1 Cup Instant Oats
1/2 Cup Chocos
1/2 Cup Sliced Almonds
1/2 Cup Raisins
1 Cup Jaggery
1/4 Tablespoon Vanilla Essence
8 Tablespoon Protein Powder
Method:
1.) Dry Roast Oats, Cornflakes, Sliced Almonds and Raisins till the raw smell goes away then keep it aside.
2.) In a deep pan add the jaggery and allow it to melt, keep stirring till it melts completely and thickens.
3.)Add vanilla essence and turn off the flame then add the roasted mixture with the protein powder.
4.) Mix immediately and ensure the mixture is coated well with jaggery.
5.) Grease a plate and spread over this mixture to cool down.
6.) Refrigerate it for half and hour.
7.) Cut in the rectangle or square shape.
8.) Store in airtight container and enjoy as snack or breakfast with a glass of milk.
