A few Receipes that i have borrowed from other people
lol

Dodge's flapjacks:

50g protein powder(about 2 scoops),
75g soya bran(health shops sell this),
3 egg whites,
2tbsp. natural peanut butter,
a little water.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly to a 'sticky' consistency and spread onto baking tray evenly.
Squeeze a little natural honey on top and some dessicated coconut if you want a sweeter taste.
Bake for 30mins approx.
Cut into 4 bars.

(Approx per bar: 100 cals; 18g protein; 5g carbs; 1g fat)


Here we go The Bigfella's home-made protein bars......Get on 'em every bites a winner!!!LOL.

1 cup Natural peanut butter
8 tablespoons honey
1&1/4 cups whey protein powder
1 cup of uncooked oatmeal

Mix the pb and honey in a bowl, microwave on full for 80 secs. Add the rest and mix together (get your hands in man!!) can add raisins/nuts etc to taste. Smooth into 13x9 tray and leave for 20 mins. Cut into 10 to 12 equal bars and wrap and store in fridge!!

Good luck and happy munching.......you'll be back for more!!
protein 20g, carbs 30g and fat 20g of which only 3g are saturated


Check it out: 1 Scoop Protein powder, 40g ecological peanutbutter, 30g honey, 30g oats, 0.1 L skim milk - totals: 42 g protein, 56 g carbs, 25 g fat. 622 calories.


I hate to try to improve on a good thing, but i changed the recipe around a bit, eliminated most of the honey to lower the sugar. Here's my changes:

1 cup natural Peanut butter
1 tbsp honey
1.25-1.5 cups chocolate whey powder (depending on how chocolatey you want them)
2 cups oatmeal
about 1/2 cup skim milk

Put Pb, honey, 1/2 cup milk, and whey powder in a bowl and mix. Add oats and more milk if necessary. Spread onto wax paper and leave alone for a while, then cut into bars. or they can be dropped onto wax paper like cookies. these are very good, taste just like the old "chocolate nobake cookies" we used to eat.


Low Carb Low Fat Protein Bars:
- 7 scoops Protein powder
- 1/2 cup melted low fat margarine
- 4 oz. fat free philadelphia cream cheese
- 1/2 cup walnuts (to lower the carbs & fat)

Directions:
Melt low fat margarine and fat free cream cheese in microwave or double boiler. Stir until smooth. Mix in protein powder & nuts. Stir until mixed. This will be very thick and hard to stir.

Put in a greased bread pan. Chill in fridge for 15-20 mins. Cut into 7 pieces. When firm, you can wrap each piece in plastic/waxpaper wrap and store in fridge.

Nutritional Info (dependent on indredient types):
Protein per bar: 20g
Carbs per bar: 4g
Fat per bar: 8g

Let me know how you guys like this lowfat lowcarb version of Bigfella's kick-ass protein bars!!


Found this on the net. I baked a few last night and my do they taste good

Chocolate Cake/ Muffin/ Bar (no flour)

2/3 cup why isolate with vitamin & amino acid profile
3 tablespoon cocoa
3 large egg whites
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoon dextrose
1 tablespoon peanut butter; melted with oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Stir together all the dry ingredients.

Beat together all the wet ingredients. Stir into the dry ingredients with a fork until blended smooth, adding enough water to get a thick pasty consistency.

Spread in a sprayed loaf pan or four muffin tins (fill the remainder with water to prevent warping the pan.

Bake approximately 15 minutes. Cut 4 bars

What do you think? I was nervous at baking them at that heat. But hey they tasted great. But hey they are used to supp the diet anyway.

This is a better recipe than the above one i found on the net.

Chocolate-dipped Deluxe Overnight No-Bake Power Bar

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup sesame seeds, toasted and ground
1/2 cup dried apricots; chopped fine
1/2 cup raisins; chopped fine
1 cup shredded unsweetened dried coconut
1 cup almonds; blanched, chopped or sliv
1/2 cup nonfat dried milk powder
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
2 teaspoon butter or margarine
1 cup white corn syrup or 3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
1 teaspoon orange or lemon extract
2 teaspoon grated orange or lemon peel
12 oz chocolate chips; 2 cups
4 oz paraffin, food grade or 3/4 cup butter
Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan for about 7 minutes, until golden,note- then grind coarsely. Toast the oats in a 300 degree oven in a 10 inch by 15 inch baking pan for 25 minutes, stirring to prevent scorching.

Mix the seeds, apricots, raisins, coconut, almonds, dry milk, and wheat germ; mix well. Mix hot oats into dried fruit mixture.

Butter the hot baking pan; set aside.

In the frying pan, combine corn syrup or honey and sugar; bring to a rolling boil over medium high heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter, orange extract, and orange peel. At once, pour over the oatmeal mixture and mix well.

Quickly spread in buttered pan and press into an even layer. Then cover and chill until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.

DIPPING FOR CHOCOLATE COATING

Cut into bars about 1 1/4 by 2 1/2 inches.
Combine chocolate chips and paraffin in to top of a double boiler. Place over simmering water until melted; stir often. Turn heat to low.
Using tongs, dip 1 bar at a time into chocolate, hold over pan until it stops dripping , then place on wire racks set above waxed paper.
With paraffin, the coating firms very quickly, bars with butter in the chocolate coating may need to be chilled. When firm and cool), serve bars, or wrap individually in foil. Store in the refrigerator up to 4 weeks; freeze to store longer.

Makes about 4 dozen bars, about 1 ounce each. Per piece: 188 cal.; 4.4 g protein; 29 g carbo.; 9.8 g fat; 0.6 mg chol.; 40 mg sodium


This looks good! Low cals too. Low Enough to add in a few scoops of whey to the mix to bump up the protein content. Like Prolabs whey isolate. Say add 4 dozen scoops of it. Its only a 100kcal per scoop of 24g.

Hey thats about 288kcals a bar. Almost a Nitro-Tech bar.

Sweet! Im off to shop for the ingredients, hell where am i going to find food grade paraffin here in oman!!

Let yall know how it goes. Doubt it will beat Bigfellas original recipe though. I have a stack in the fridge i made up yesterday.

i know the whey forward



have not tried it yet so let me know how it turns out, looks to be really high in protein for the number of cals and very low fat compared to other recipies....
Ingredients:

2 Level scoops of chocolate soy or whey-based protein powder

* Steel cut oats refers to the basic chopping of oats from their original form.

Rolled oats are actually processed and lose nutrients in the transition. Rolled oats are the most common form (think Quaker) found in the grocery store chains.

Steel cut oats are available at most health food stores. They are usually sold in bulk and are often called Irish oats.

An equal amount of regular rolled oats can be substituted.


Just had another attempt at making the protein bars - think it was a big mistake to cook them in the oven before. It just made them so dry. Instead I stuck them in the fridge and they taste beautiful!

Current recipe (modified from Bigfellas and others):

600g Unflavoured Whey (82% Protein)
400g Muesli (adds great texture)
150g Oats
200ml Milk
75g Bird's Chocolate Custard - or any flavouring. Butterscotch mix is nice
100ml Milk

Just stick it all in a big bowl and mix up - you don't want the mixture to be too runny so stick to limited liquid. Whack 'em in the fridge for a few hours and cut them up. Nutritionally they work out like this:

Per 100g:
Protein: 36g
Carbs: 32g/11g Sugar
Fat: 4g

Better than any Muscle-tech protein bar and work out a hell of a lot cheaper!


Here goes another experiement...just made the following

Muesli 700g
Mixed Fruit 100g
Chocolate Whey 100g
Semi Skinned Milk 100g
Peanut Butter 100g

cut into 10 bars which gives 13.4g Fat, 18.32g Protein, 48.47g Carbs per bar. They are sat in the fridge now, cant wait to try one later, may need to up the Whey next time


ummmm!!! tried these finally, fkn awesome! Was worried a little because the mixture looked really dry in the mixing bowl but when you clump it together it comes perfect!

here is what I tried after I ate them all...

DETOUR BAR LIKE BARS!!!
1cup peanut butter
1/4 cup milk
2cup oats
1 3/4 cup choc protein powder
2tbs honey
1tbs maple syrup

- mix together as usual
- now make into small 1/2 thick bars about 4" long

STEP 2:
1/2 cup peanuts chopped
caramel (homemade or store bought... there are low carb versions available too)
(make sure caramel is in the fridge for an hour or so so it hardens)
2cups choc chips
4oz paraffin

double boil the choc chips and paraffin on low heat, keep ready until end of next step

so take your 1/2" tall 4" long bar and put a 1/4" layer of caramel on top... it should stay because the caramel is hardened from being in the fridge

next put the chopped peanuts on top (think of how a snicker bar looks)

next drizzle the choc mix on top of each bar

if you're quick enough it should cover the whole bar and not move or melt anything inside

refrigerate it next (if you use paraffin the choc should harden fairly quickly... and if you really want you can take the bar and dip it in the double boiled chips/paraffin again to get a coat all around)

PS THIS IS ADDICTIVE!!!! give it a go


just tried these, really good!!!!!!!!!, thanks for the receipe. I slightly changed it a little to up the protein. Also I didn't have cups so I had to slightly guess the measurements

100g ground oats(oatmeal)
100g natural penut butter (twice the price of normal stuff, grrr)
200g honey
200g of choccy whey
splash of milk

cut up into 10bars

250cals, 19g of protein, cant remember the rest, think its about 17g carbs and about 8g of fat (2g or so of sat fat)

next time might halve the honey and increase the milk.

taste like chewy snickers bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!, yummmm

The 2nd bars there on the list will stick to evrything. I usually just wrap mine in cling film or greaseproof paper. Or just straight in a container.

I noticed the longer they are left in the fridge the less sticky they get, when i make them though they don't even have time to settle never mind anything else :lol:
