Notes

To keep the bars from crumbling, ensure that the almond butter used is firm and doesn't contain oil separation. No-stir almond butter is best!
Storing the bars in the freezer or refrigerator until you're ready to enjoy them helps keep their structure.
Adapt these bars with whatever dried fruit, seeds, and nuts, or nut butters you like!
Any type of protein powder works great in this recipe.
Easily make these oatmeal protein bars vegan by substituting brown rice syrup for the honey.
