Homemade Protein Bars

Makes: 16 servings

Ingredients:

2 cups natural peanut butter or cashew butter
1 3/4 cups honey
2 1/4 cups of protein powder (I use egg protein)
3 cups dry, uncooked oatmeal

Directions:

Combine peanut butter and honey in a large mixing bowl and heat in the microwave for about 70 seconds.
  Stir in protein powder and oatmeal.  Mix thoroughly.  It will be thick!

Press into a 9" x 13" pan.  Refrigerate until solid enough to cut and then cut into 16 equal bars.  Wrap each bar in foil or saran wrap and store in plastic baggie in refrigerator.
