home made protein bars? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

robin_3_16 · 08-03-2004, 10:52 AM

i got this recipe of my girlfriends dad,
he is not the brightest but he said it works
mix and make porridge, one big bowl mix in whey 2 scoops with the milk,
amounts up to you
after the porridge is made pour it into a baking tray, bake on a low heat for a short time until the porridge is quite hard, otherwise the protein will be no good, then leave to stand in a fridge
or i think you can just leave it to stand and let it go hard
i have improvised this my gf's dad is scottish he said he used to make this by using porridge putting it in a draw letting it set and cutting the bars out for a snack each day
add a bit of whey and its a protein bar!
i am not sure though, i might try it later!

doesnt sound to bad. you could try some peanut butter in there too mate and pehaps some raisns as well. just a thought anyway mate.

cooking the whey will denature it and therefore make it useless. there is a recipie for homemeade protein bars that i'll post up when i get in later tonight...

ive heard that mate but i have also heard that if you dont totaly scorch it and use low heat it will be ok. i know bigfellas recipe from muscletalk is famous on that board lol and he cooks his.

i don't know if you have to cook it, i just thoguth it would work better!

I make my own flapjacks with oats and whey concentrate. Normally cook them in oven for 20-30 mins on 180 c, so does this ruin the protein?

Panthro · 08-03-2004, 10:34 PM

t-man, whey is already part digested, so temperatures over 65C denature it and remder it useless! So no cooking them!

Panthro · 08-03-2004, 10:40 PM

ok, here is bigfells's legendry bars...

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!!

--------------------------------

I find them too high in sugars, so i use less honey and organic no added sugar PB.

robin_3_16 · 08-03-2004, 10:47 PM

don't you cook the oatmeal?

T-man · 08-03-2004, 10:50 PM

oh well they tasted good.

**robdog** · 10-03-2004, 12:29 PM

ah there is another recipe i was thinking of which you have to cook on a low heat for 15 minutes. think ill give it a miss though if it ruins the protein.
