Tired of paying 29.99€ for 12 protein bars ? TRY THIS!

These taste amazing, I wrap them seperately in grease-proof paper, store them in my freezer and pretty much just take one out 10mins before I plan to eat them. They do tend to go quite mushy so I probably wouldn't take them around with me anywhere.. Also in the mixing stage I wouldn't use my hands ever again, lost some of the batter as it was so sticky I couldn't remove it without alot of soap and water :P

can anyone think of a good alternative to the whey protein?
i've never bought WP before and don't want to buy it just for something experimental like this.
I was thinking something along the lines of wheat bran/wheatgerm , as that's still 30% protein?

30% protein isn't really high enough for a proten bar.

Just buy the WP. Even you you don't like the bars, you'll still ahve a use for it

In the original post, about the oats, what does WPC stand for? (i'm brain dead at this time)

Whey Protein Concentrate

Just made a batch of these! Can't wait for them to set to try them out.

Followed the instructions almost exactly, but substituted choc flavored whey for strawberry 'cause it's all I had. I also threw in a tablespoon of crushed hazelnuts and a pinch or two of desiccated coconut powder.

Just came across this thread. They lok amazing. Cant wait to get some made the weekend.

Was wondering about the fact protein is meant to be used fairly quickly once mixed, does that not effect keep these for long? Or are they meant to be kept in the freezer all the time?

fair play OP too. Great post. After years.

Saw this thread at 22:50 and read the OP. Suddenly realised I had most of the ingredients and that I wouldn't be able to sleep unless I tried making them. By 23:20, I had a batch in the freezer

I had all ingredients except the almonds, so replaced them with raisins. Also added in sesame seeds for no good reason except I bought a pack today and wanted to use them for something. Also just had strawberry whey instead of chocolate, so added a teaspoon of bourneville cocoa.

Mixture turned out fine and dying to taste it in the morning. At least my fingers tasted nice after I mixed everything.

i just eat them straight out of the freezer. takes less than a minute for the to start thawing out and by the time ive eaten it the last few bits are mush.

Love these bars. Very cheap to make and delicious!

Are rolled oats different from porridge oats?

On my third batch now. Just a tip for storing/eating these as they are so sticky.

I put each individual bar into tesco cheapo food/freezer bags they are about 90cent for 50 or something like that. Take out a bag as you need a bar from the freezer and eat it straight from the bag when its soft enough, it doesn't really stick to the bag at all and as they cheap you can just bin em each time.

After watching this thread pop up on my radar for many years I finally made these on Friday night since I was shopping for a cooking session as I was doing Sunday Lunch!

Well impressed [and that is with me having to get creative with some of the ingredients!]. Great work! Deffo cant see me every buying bars again, and look forward to playing with the recipe a bit

I avoid chocolate flavour whey because I think anything chocolate flavour that isn't chocolate is... wrong.

I use vanilla flavour, but I go all out with the nuttiness. Aside from the ingredients mentioned, I throw in dessicated coconut, sesame seeds, tahini and a little bourneville powder I had some almond shavings left over from a korma I made and threw them into my last batch.

Again, well played OP
