Peanut Butter Power Bar

Peanut Butter Power Bar

Great post workout snack

Recipe From getreadygirls.ca via thejoyofcleaneating.com

Ingredients:
1 cup honey (or brown rice syrup)
1 cup all natural peanut butter (if you keep your PB in the fridge then bring it to room temp)
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup unflavored unsweetened protein powder-- or flavoured if you want!
1/2 cup dried currants (or other- cranberries, dark chocolate chips, etc)
1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds

Preparation:
Place the sunflower seeds in a shallow pan and toast on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes stirring often, set aside.
Pour the honey in a 2 quart pan and bring to a boil on medium-high. Reduce the heat to low and boil stirring constantly for about 3 minutes, remove from heat and add the peanut butter.
Stir well.
Next add the oats, protein powder, sunflower seeds and currants. Press the mixture in a 8 x 8 non stick pan (I line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal).
After cooled, cut into bars (2 x 2) and wrap individually for an easy portable snack.
