Tips for making Cranberry Almond Healthy Oatmeal Bars

  • If the dough seems a little dry at first, keep mixing.
  • This is our favorite vanilla protein powder for this recipe, but any type of vanilla protein powder will work!
  • Don’t want to use protein powder? Substitute it with oat flour instead!
  • Refrigerate the oat bars for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
  • Use a small, square or rectangle cake pan lined with parchment paper to easily set, cut, and remove the bars.
  • Feel free to adapt these bars with your favorite dried fruits, nuts, seeds and spices!

    Can this be made without the honey or agave?

      Since they are no-bake, I would recommend using something that can hold them together instead. You could try out maple syrup instead! Enjoy the recipe!

    Can you use steel cut oats instead of rolled oats?

      I wouldn’t recommend steel cut oats since the texture is very different from rolled oats. I’m not sure that the texture of the bars would hold up the same way!

    I have somehow bought a LOT of protein powder over the last few weeks, and am looking for recipes to use it up. This looks like the perfect solution! Thanks for the idea 🙂

    I have two bags of rolled oat that expires next month. I have now a yum recipe to finish up those and I am sure my family will love it.
