Can you make these for a week or do they go bad after just a few days? Im curious since they contain milk & protein powder, which both tend to make the food go bad faster
What to use if I dont have whey protein
What to use if I dont have casein or whey protein
Thanks for sharing this method very helpful❤

Pro baking tip: if you crumble the parchment paper in a ball with your hands you can easily fit it to any type of baking sheet without having to use scissors :)
Your comment made my batch light on fire in the oven
@@rowan8252 Your comment made me chuckle.
What? Never heard of such. What a great tip. Thank you!!!!💖💖💖
And this actually works. Genius!
You can also turn your loaf pan upside down and fold the parchment paper sort of like you would wrap a present, without using scissors. Then take it off and turn the pan right side up and place it in it.
If you add a grated carrot to this the extra moisture basically turns this into a brownie. Delicious! Just bake for about 5 minutes longer or just until you can poke a chopstick in and it comes out dry.
Substitute for protein powder:
So I am no bodybuilder, I just wanted a filling snack which could give me the fibre I needed. So no protein powder for me. This is what I used, and it was soft and chewy 😍
- 150g oats
- 30g cocoa
- 80g Greek yoghurt
- 70g Peanut butter
- 150g milk
what can I replace yogurt with?
You can still use protein powder if you are not bodybuilder, it's just food, like all other ingredients
@@vasilybakarashvili8536 correct. There is nothing wrong with protein powder. It's just not an ingredient that I will naturally buy when I am grocery shopping - no reason for me to use up more space in my kitchen
@@danielle3397 I don't know. Maybe you could try some experiments yourself. I can only share what I tried for myself - I am no food blogger, just a simple food maker
@@danielle3397 protein powder🤦🏻♀️
If you substitute powdered peanut butter for peanut butter, the macros would be: 1140kcals / 24F / 118 C / 102 P
Thank you for the macros renaud!
Did you try with powdered peanut butter instead?
Pro tip: I swap oatmeal with oat bran to improve the macros for these kinds of recipes.
@@gasphynx That's a cool tip! Is there any noticeable difference in flavor? I'm not too familiar with oat bran
@@abusedpoptart7511 they taste pretty similar
I started having oatmeal every day for breakfast a month ago because I got an inguinal hernia and needed to drop a few lbs. It REALLY does give you a nice steady level of energy through the day . I think I'll try this recipe so I have something for later in the day at work. Im 57 and paint houses for a living so I need to be up for it .
Awesome, I hope you will like it :)
Did it help with your hernia? I recently got the same thing and was hoping weight loss would help.
@@Sacarat It sure did , took a lot of the internal pressure off, and I also bought a truss from Comfort Truss thats super comfortable and kind of holds everything in and makes me way less nervous about it getting worse
I’ve been eating oatmeal for years yet two hours later I’m hungry again. I usually try to ignore it but found if I put protein powder in I can go a little longer.
@@francismcdonnell753 I make mine with whole milk and have a few eggs too so maybe thats helping a lot
After testing several recipes based on your recommendations and other's comments, I came to the conclusion that this is the best recipe so far:
150g oats
30g cocoa
80g Greek yogurt
70g peanut butter
150g milk
1 smashed banana
1 ts cinnamon
1 ts dehydrated orange zest
1 ts Maple syrup
Thank you! Enjoy! 😃
These come out absolutely amazing!
What I can recommend as an added "bonus": mash up a ripe banana with a fork or your rubber spatula and put it in with the other ingredients.
Also (when using Casein powder as your protein) I used 300g milk (1.5% low-fat milk) instead of 150g milk + water.
I'm not sure if it's the mashed banana puree or the added milk that I used, but they came out wayyy creamier, more juicy and not as dry as the first time I tried them. Just a tip :)
Great tips thank you :)
150 grams is only 2/3 cup?? That doesn’t seem remotely enough oats. All the measurements seem off. Compared to what he put in the bowl.
@@lisamacintyre6099 Not sure where you're getting these conversions from but 1 cup oats is 80 g, so he uses more like 2 cups of oats here and not 2/3 cup
Just get yourself a food scale that can do grams/lbs (most can do both) and use the grams settings for all of the ingredients. Comes out perfectly.
@@kartiloco9929 I googled it. Converted it to cups. I see now from what you said it’s by weight his measurements. Makes more sense. Thanks
In Sweden the 1.5% fat milk is the average milk. Low fat is 0.5% fat and we also have one with 0.1% fat.
CASEIN vanilla powder is ridiculously expensive. I just won't put money in the pockets of people who charge such extortionate prices.
Great recipe. I’ve tweaked it now to where I take my oats and grind them into a fresh flour. This makes it more like a traditional brownie. Also added some chopped pecans and almonds.
Been checking out a few of your recipe videos, they are always short and straight to the point with clear instructions. Mad props for listing all of the ingredients in a table towards the end. You got yourself a new subscriber.
Thank you so much :)
I used pb2 in place of peanut butter and coconut almond milk. I put them in the air fryer at 380 for 8 minutes. They turned out fabulous!
Oooo nice! What type of powder did u use? I'm trynna find a vegan alternative to whey and casein
@@ggasmr Octonuts makes an awesome almond protein powder and the unflavored one has 17 g protein per serving and 1 ingredient and is certified plant based, certified paleovegan, grain and gluten free, keto certified and has no soy, dairy, corn, grain or peanuts! I don't work for them but I use their product and it satisfies and the added bonus of 6 g fiber helps to keep ya going. They also make walnut powder but I haven't tried that one. I have tried their unflavored almond protein and their vanilla and their chocolate flavors. I like that in the flavored ones they use coconut sugar as I cannot tolerate Stevia or the sugar alcohols like erythritol etc...much less digestive upset with these than anything else I've tried. Hope this helps!
@@a.rosesrbleu9580 amazinggg!! Thank you so much!!
@@a.rosesrbleu9580 Thank you very much for sharing! And thank you to @knuzzly for asking.
aha! I was wondering if I could use an air fryer! Thanks
Just wanted to come back to say these are AMAZING. They're definitely filling 👌 I add powdered sweetener to mine, because it wasn't sweet enough for me. Also I've made about 3 batches now 😁
Thank you 😊 glad you like em
Your not sweet enough
@Unknown Doggo I will make these with an oat mix that contains raisins. Should come out the same tho.
Think I'm gonna start preparing these every Sunday because I never seem to have the time to make breakfast in the mornings. An oat bar plus a piece of fruit and walnuts sounds like a great breakfast to me!
Sounds great, actually!
I make overnight oats with yogurt, oats, wheat germ, homemade jam, and walnuts. Way better macros, easier to swallow, and far less hassle to make since it's literally just combining everything and into the fridge.
very nice, thank you!
One tip:
Shake the powder with the milk and then add it to the dry ingredients.
Much less dusty while preparing and also more homogenic :)
I already made it. Used some flavdrops for extra sweetening. Still came out with a nice dark chocolate taste. Will make this in the future, probably for my mom too. Thx for the recipe
That is so nice from you, thank you :)
I tried both the og recipe (delicious) and then tried an alternative; replaced the cocoa powder with coconut flour, used some vanilla flavored plant milk sub, vanilla casein whey, and cashew butter. So good! Drench it in some dark chocolate and it's a luxury bounty bar.
This is gonna be a staple for me I think.
Could name them Co'Coats. I'm bad at naming things.
Read it like cock oats the first time
The putting of the whole jar on the scale and zeroing the scale is actually a gamechanger when it comes to weighing things out. How have I never thought to do that
i’ve never thought of that before either! however, i found that my scale tends to be less accurate when i do it like that for some reason. maybe it’s just my scale being weird, but you might want to double check :)
My mind was blown lol
Same - I thought I was stupid for not realising this is how it should be done way sooner..
It boggles my mind that you need to be told to use a basic function of a scale.
@@ant94 You were stupid.
These literally came out like fudge brownies for me. Absolute game changer. I didn't have casein so I subbed with 15 grams whey/ 15gram Skyr and that worked well. They only thing I'd say is they come out pretty bitter so it's worth putting in a vanilla sweetener to cut through the chocolate.
Great recipe. I added a ripe banana for sweetness, chocolate whey protein + vanilla extract. It would really be great with some walnuts/pecan nuts or maybe cacao nibs.
Hi, how did it turn out with whey protein? I only have chocolate whey protein and not casein as used in this recipe.
This is exactly what I am looking for. Healthy home made baking with simple recipes 🙏🏿👍🏻👏😊
Glad you found something helpful :)
This is basically a non-dessert version of No-Bake cookies. I like it. :)
Your videos are freaking amazing. Straight to the case, great information and tips, AND nutritional information at the end! I'm a new subscriber, and looking forward to trying your recipes! Thanks man!
Thank you and welcome :) Hopefully you will like some recipes and put them into your rotation
Du bist GÖTTLICH - Du bist der ERSTE der sagt das er Casein nutzt und erklärt auch warum! Ich habe schon so viele Rezepte ausprobiert es war immer trocken ( da ich normales Whey genommen habe, die im Video meistens aber nicht) und nun weis ich den Grund. Danke !
Nice recepy, I made similar ones when I was going to college. Sometimes I added different nuts. I also used couple of whole eggs to be more compact.
Wow great content. Specifically how knowledgeable you are about the ingredients you use. And I love how you've replied to so many, especially with ingredient alternatives. You seem to really know what you're talking about and these look great!
Thank you so much. I try to educate myself to share everything I know with people watching 😊
Love the recipe Felu. Very easy to make and great to have on hand when the cravings hit👌
Thank you dude!
For the baking part, you can also butter and flour your baking tin if you don't have any parchment paper and definitively adjust your baking time if your using like me a larger but shallower tin. 12 to 15 minutes will be enough.
Been looking for a healthy bar for my teens school lunches , thanks I'm going to give this a try, and experiment with different ingredients going forward 😀
I am making these right now!! I tasted a little bit of the mix before putting it into the oven and it’s so good. I only had chocolate flavoured casein powder, so these bars are going to be double chocolate.
I make it yesterday and is so perfect !! Thanks for the recipe !!!
Will be my go to snack from now on 😍
Nice thank you :)
Thanks for such a good way of explaining the recipe, being close to the audience, great friendly information, and is a great recipe with a great mission! Thanks Felu
Thank you so much!
Doing it this weekend :) Thanks for sharing your recipe
Awesome recipe--thanks Felu! Have made this a couple times now and have come up with my best version. It's mostly the same with some slight variation:
- 1 mashed up ripe banana
- 150g oats
- 30g cocoa powder
- 60g vanilla protein powder (I use Orgain vegan pea-protein blend powder, so it's not casein)
- 50g peanut butter
- 200g milk (I use whole or 2%)
- 15g zero-calorie sweetener of choice, if desired, or to taste
- pinch of salt
Bake at 400F for 20 minutes. Comes out moist and delicious, not dry at all. Adding the banana adds a touch of sweetness, and additional sweetener really makes it taste like a treat.
The macros per serving (6 servings) comes out to be: 207cal, 10g protein, 29g carbs, 8g fat
How long you can store them?
@@ShadowRider126 Mine store for about a week in the fridge just fine!
@@caliberarts9513 Good to know, thanks!
cute pfp
Thank you for this, your version sounds great.
I made these using Chocolate flavoured Casein Protein and they are a really really good snack to fill me between breakfast and lunch! Thanks for the awesome recipe man! Keep it coming :)
Awesome 😊
Wow your recipes are absolutely amazing.
Thank you my friend! this is the best recipe ever. I just made it and I am very happy that it is so easy and tasty !!!
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I love how easy it was to make them. They are chewy and delicious. I think I'll add some hazelnuts to it next.
Awesome, glad you like it. Hazelnuts will be amazing on top of these!
these video's are so great, don't stop making them!!
Not planning to stop anytime soon :)
@@Felu good to hear.
I used organic quick oats, oat milk and vanilla flavored rice protein, and the result was somewhat different but still quite good as a snack. The result was quite dry, it would have required around 3dl of water to result in the same consistency, I used about 2dl.
Already ordered some casein vanilla powder and I'm going to get steel cut oats so I'm going to give these another try with the same ingredients, not going to use cow milk though. I love the channel, these are great recipes!
This was really good. Excellent presentation too.
You can also fold in some dried fruit, walnuts and cinnamon.
Made these today thank you ! I used almond milk and also added an ounce of dates for a little sweetness ..
Sounds great!
These look incredible! I make oat bars with a different recipe and slather peanut butter on top …so amazing!
Thanks for sharing. It looks delicious and healthy.
These look awesome! There's a very similar looking recipe in the Marvel Superheroes Cookbook (from the '70s) that is really delicious and I made for my best friend's birthday, so I'd really like to test these out. They'd definitely be much healthier!
Try this (I’ve been doing it for years, made it up myself): fill sauce pan of water turn burner on high, place a metal mixing bowl over the top (so the steam heats the bowl). Add 2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 natural honey, 1/4 natural organic maple syrup and 1/4 cup chocolate chips (chocolate chips are important for the binding and texture, not necessarily a taste thing). Mix that all together until blended then add 1 and 1/2 cups oats, mix until blended and press out in a 9”x9” pan with parchment paper. The recipe will yield a total of 4230 calories, 281 grams of fat, 147g of protein, 351g of carbs, and 64g of fiber. I split mine into 8 bars but you can use the total nutritional facts to figure out how many you want to divide it into. I purposely made these because I struggle to eat enough calories and put on weight. My recipe is gluten free, zero processed sugar (only “sugar” from natural honey and maple.) and there is no baking. Super easy super tasty, I store in fridge.
Quite high in sugar
Insane amount of calories.
Also, why did you not just say double boiler for the chocolate? Instead you had to be patronizing about such a simple thing...
@@Adaephonable I'm not sure what you are saying?
@@AdaephonableIt’s literally not patronizing, weirdo. Not everyone has or even knows what a double boiler is, and the bowl method is easily accessible to most.
The way you fashioned the parchment paper onto the baking pan was pretty smart. I’m always struggling with that. 😄
I did this recipe but changed it up a bit because i have whey isolate so ended up using:
150g Oats
50g Dutch Processed Cocoa
50g Protein + Greek Yoghurt
100 ml milk (or till gets to Nutella consistancy)
2 Tsp of Instant coffee
1 banana mashed
50g Super Crunchy Peanut Butter
64g Whey Isolate Vanilla
1/4 Tsp of salt
Then cooked for 20 mins and turned out good, I didn't put any sweetner in because my isolate powder was already sweet, it's still nice and semi sweet but probably would add a few tbsp of Maple next time and probably add some more nuts like almonds for texture and split the bars into 10 with the same protein gains.
Thanks - I'm going to try this. It must be cheaper than buying ready made ones.
You can also grind the oats, add smooth peanut butter, a few seconds in the microwave, and some honey, you can add protein powder as well. Mix them and it will result in some edible dough, really helped me in my college days, horrible days it was.
What temp and how long should you put it in the microwave?
@@xnoname223 sadly my microwave doesn't show the temperature. Just a few seconds, do 5 seconds then see if it is water-ish. It is just so the flavor spread in the dough.
That looks so easy. I like it.
Great recipe! Ideal for who want something delicious but fit at the same time! Good job!🔝👍🏻
I messed this recipe up and it still tasted good haha. Thanks again Felu!
Haha thank you :)
How?
@@kayoungthompson6893 Well starting off I used whey protein, powdered pb, and too much milk. I was in a huge rush so I turned up the oven to cook it faster. Just made them again last night and they came out perfect.
New subscriber. Love that you're using protein powder, I use it in shakes all the time but its great to see in recipes.
Thank you and welcome :)
Vegan gluten free version:
chia seeds, cacao, PB, unsweetened almond milk, pumpkinseed protein powder, no salt needed: its in almond milk. Moisture tip: shredded carrot optional for brownie consistency.
Hi!!!!!! NEW SUB!!!! I'm so excited I found your channel!!!! I started my TH-cam Weight Loss Journey in November (2022). I've been searching for other TH-camrs who have knowledge for this journey. I LOVE your attitude and personality. Thank you so much for the healthy recipes!💥💥💥💥
I have made these twice and I love them. Great pre-workout fuel. The first time I made them I baked them at 200 degrees Fahrenheit as I didn’t pay full attention to the video. The second time I baked them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit as per instructions but I think they came out way too dry. The first time they were not as dry. I will try a third time going back to 200. Great recipe.
Sounds great! I think you should stick at 400 Fahrenheit but bake them for a shorter period of time.
Very few things cook well at 200 degrees it is too low, I would atleast should for 325 to 350 or shorten the time like Felu mentioned.
this is a snack my mom thought of in the 90s. except she uses bananas instead protein powder and soy milk.
Do you know the ratio of bananas she uses? Sounds like something my husband would like.
@@NazzyDragon she puts two ripe bananas almost black. that's all I know.
@@spacechimp5141 Hmm. Looks like something I'll have to eyeball. Not sure how much finished oat bars it makes, so hard to reverse-engineer lol
@@NazzyDragon 4 bananas, 2 cups rolled oats, 2tsp heaped cocoa powder, 1tsp baking powder is an easy recipe I use to make 8 scones 200c for 15min. You probably could add in the pb I guess or whatever else you like.
@@gerry7414ohhh this sounds like a great recipe, thanks for sharing 🤝
Looks and sounds really nice. Especially compared to processed protein bars in the markets.
The best and the easiest oat bar recipe!❤❤
Lowkey tastes even better unbaked, or at least I would have undercooked it a little so it was more soft and goey. It’s kinda like the difference between brownies and batter
I tried this a few weeks ago, but it was pretty bland. However, I dipped it in a zero sugar sweetened yogurt, and it was delicious. Alternatively, you could dip it in honey or maple syrup if you need more carbs. I made it again today and added 15 grams of raw sugar to the recipe, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Eating this with a side of Greek yogurt is a great high protein snack.
Chocolate chips could help but someone mentioned bananas helped with the texture and sweetness.
Absolutely insane, thank you for that receipe !
Thanks for teaching me how to make an Oatbar! Definitely gonna try making this for breakfast soon hehe
amazing work but I lough hard when you said "lactose is sweat enough" while I was eating a chooclate cake and saying why this is not sweet enough lol 😂😂😂
Yeah, sweetness is a very controversial topic :)
You need less sugar for the same feeling after you adapt to a low sugar diet
Great recipe. I added a banana for added sweetness and moisture, and used whey isolate (from A2 cows) since I can't handle regular dairy/casein. Also added a bit of maple syrup since the banana wasn't sweet enough. Curious to hear what other people are using for sweetener options.
I always add at least a tablespoon of cinnamon to baked goods like this, it enhances the sweetness without added sugar. Make sure you don't consume over a teaspoon of cinnamon per day tho.
@@belbel891 damn now you tell me after ive been adding half a cup to mine
Quick tip, add micronized collagen peptides and you will get 20% more protein with great skin and nails. Not to mention it seems to be a good binder in substitute for gluten
I love this recipe I must try ❤
Caseine is pretty slowly digested so i'd consider whey isolate and adding a bit of liquid.
Super yummy! I've been trying to make changes to this over the weekend to get them just how I want them, since mine came out a bit more dry than I like.
Same basic recipe as in the video, using PB2 instead of peanut butter.
(+
I soak the oats in 100g milk + 150g water in the fridge for an hour first, then add the remaining milk and the rest of ingredients (+ some sweetener). I then add a bunch of more water, until the consistency is a bit more runny than in the video - and I bake for only 20 minutes, instead of 25.
The result (at least for me) is better, since it reminds me more of gooey brownies, while still being baked all the way through.
Thank you for the recipe - this will become my new afternoon snack at work for sure!
Sounds great!
What kind of sweetener do you use? I added maple syrup to mine (10 grams) and it did the trick, I wish it tasted more chocolatey though.
I have to correct u. Baking cocoa doesn't remove the ability of leavening since it's specifically used in cakes that often needs a leavening agent and it is not sweeter or less bitter. No types of cocoa powder would automatically help on leavening.
Love your channel and your vibe! Subbed🙂
This great recipe deserved a beautuful mold. Comes out more appetizing! Thanks.
Health watchers, if you prefer baking with honey I recommend Acacia honey. It’s light in body and has a pn aromatic vanilla flavor to it but if using make sure you adjust moisture in the recipe since honey is not a liquid ingredient. Happy baking 👋🏻
First of all I want to thank you for this amazing recipe. Then I want to thank you for telling the measurements in metric system which is convenient and easy and not like American TH-camrs who tell the units in ounces, pounds/ lbs, gallons and Fahrenheit. Will try your recipe and will give you an update about the same.
As someone tHta lives in America but it's from Spain their measurements made ni sense.
@@ichigohime16 lol
American measuring spoons, cups etc are done with our system. The clear liquid measuring cups have both metric and our version, but the grams, that's by weight, right? So you need a kitchen scale to measure everything? A scale that measures by metric?
@@recoveringsoul755 it might be convenient for you, but one pound is 453.592 grams, tell me sir, don't you need scale for measuring exact quantity if you live outside US and following American recipe? We in India have weight in ½ kg which 500 grams, 1 kg is 1000 grams. Everytime I have to google whenever I am following American recipe for the exact measurements.
@@rajgoyal108 American stores sell kitchen tools with American measurements on them, we don't have what you use. There is one type of cup to measure dry ingredients, not by weight but by how much space they take up. Wet ingredients are measured with different measuring cups. Even here, some people don't know that and use same cup for both wet and dry ingredients . Some ingredients are heavier than others so it seems easier to us to measure this way. Like a golf ball is dense and heavy, and a ping pong ball is hollow and light. Even if they are the same size, they would have different weight. I do have a kitchen scale, but only because I needed it for cake decorating. Most people don't have one, and i dont know if it does metric or not. Why don't your stores sell measuring tools to follow American recipes? Same problem.
wow, looks delicious! Thanks for the amazing recipe :)
That was really simple. Thank you!
Tried it and they’re ok for what they are- a easy to make healthy minimal ingredient snack. The inside was pretty good but I was left with an outer crust layer that tasted like paper
Mate you’re supposed to remove the baking paper before eating 😂
Made this today, was delicious!
Do you have any savory oatmeal / oatmeal bar recipes? Would love to see one with miso or something along that line of flavor profile!
Not yet! I have only savory baked oats but not a bar but that sounds interesting
I will test this out. I normally make my oat bars with more various seeds. but I'll try this out.
Awesome! Great Recipe 👏
I can’t stand hot oatmeal in the summer and put frozen berries in to make it cold. This is a great alternative!
Awesome idea :)
Did you try overnight oats ? They're put in the fridge
you can just let it cool down in the fridge..
One word.... Amazing!!!
Made these today. However, I made few changes in the recipe. I don't like peanut butter so I used jaggery instead.
Jaggery acted as a binding agent as well as sweetener.
?? What is jaggery??
Nice :)
@@Jazzatic2011 nutritionally it's similar to sugar but with a few traces of minerals in it. It's usually made from sugarcane or date palm and is brownish in colour.
Can I ask how much Jaggery you used in the recipe? I brought some today and I'm going to try make the oat bars with the Jaggery tomorrow
So I made chocolate oat balls based off this recipe, the only difference being that I used quick cooking oats and added less liquid, + 1 shot of espresso. Mixed until it ressembled a thick cookie dough, rolled them into balls then covered them with coconut shavings. Now that does add some calories but boy is it delicious
I love this recepie, it's so quick and easy to do and great for snacks on the go!
FELU YOU are doing such important work. To help us change the relationship with food. I am trying to live healthier and be happy. Bland chicken and veges are not the only way to get there and your channel has shown that. I am too keen to make this!
I'm so glad that people find my stuff useful :) Thank you so much
Eating chocolate and peanut butter will not help you if you want to be healthier. I am amazed that people won't eat fruit because they claim it has too much sugar, but the same people will eat this. Nobody told you to eat bland chicken and veggies. You may cook chicken and vegetables in a variety of ways. If you choose not to do that, well.....
Most people who actually have fitness and nutrition knowledge are not preaching ‘bland chicken!’ Food does not have to be tasteless to be healthy. Spices are your friend!
@@Michelle-pn9xt - 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in a recipe that makes 6 servings is perfectly fine. Remember that nuts are healthy fats…AND he gave you the option of PB2 instead of peanut butter. PB2 (and other brands of powdered peanut butter) have most of the fat removed and are higher in protein. Also cocoa powder is not unhealthy. There’s a huge difference between using cocoa powder to flavor something and eating a chocolate candy bar. 🤦♀️
If you can't have oats you can make something similar with chickpeas. I eat a chickpea brownie for breakfast every morning.
I know, I even have a video for chickpea bars :)
That's really cool, thanks for the recipe.
Glad you liked it
Hey man, made first batch and were very very dry, I still ate the whole batch and got used to them. Followed your recipe to a tee, second time I've added honey, some orange extract and some extra milk/water. And I'm going to cook it for less time on slightly lower heat. Hoping that will make it less dry, fingers crossed
Did you use whey or casein?
@@Felu used whey. Can confirm they are a lot less dry when cooked for 10 minutes at 180c (fan heated oven)
Thank you felu 🙂
Only 10 mins??
This looks GREAT! I'll have to bypass the Peanut Butter (Allergic) But overall it looks healthy and good for a breakfast meal which my trainer say's I need.
There are other nut butters, but I also have seen a chocolate flavored butter made from organic soy i think. Made by Someone who had a peanut allergy. I can't remember the name I don't have any right now
Same here i just use almond butter
Try pistachio butter. Expensive but the kid in gamer was right it’s good.
there's also sunflower seed butter if you're allergic to nuts
since almond butter is expensive you could use almond flour and add an oil of your choice to balance it
I just made them and I I suggest adding honey for some slight sweetness.
I love your channel and your recipes. Thanks
Thank you :)
Looks good, but with no eggs to bind the ingredients together, they were very fragile. I'd add a 1/4 cup of brown sugar to add a touch of sweetness and moisture to the bars. Without a sweetener of some kind ( date, coconut sugar are both delicious and not overly sweet), these bars aren't balanced tasting.
Would adding an egg help?
Sounds like you had too much liquid in yours. Or perhaps you could have baked them longer.
@@yolernlimn3574 Baking longer only dried it out.
It needed a touch of sugar (sugar added much needed balance and moisture) and eggs (binding and moisture).
I've been baking goodies for about 45 years, at this point, I rarely measure ingredients.
@@RockeyToes added sugar and eggs:) also thought it was weird there was no sweetener or eggs, we’ll see how they turn out
update: didn't love the taste of them even with the sugar and eggs but i'd say they're good for when you're hungry in the middle of the night. **i would add less cocoa powder than the reccomended**
I agree, I made them following the recipe first to see what I could improve next time and indeed they were very dry and bitter. Not dry as in overcooked, I would just like more moisture in there. Thanks for the tips
Hey Felu, I loved these oatbars. This was my first video from your channel and I'm definitely going to try more recipes of yours. Keep up the good work!
I was wondering though, do these bars need to be refrigerated, or can they be stored at room temp?
Glad you like them! I never had them for longer time at room temp tbh. So I have honestly no idea haha
Hi, I'm going to try these soon. You make them sound good talha
I would think food, snack etc... with milk should be refrigerated if for longer than a day.
Just made these they turned out fantastic!!. fresh out of the oven it was like a chocolate cake.
I used the PB2 and half the serving of almond butter- and added some chocolate chips.. Delicious thanks for sharing
Super great recipe
You are the best sir
Before using oats in most recipes, I LOVE to toast them slightly first. 🧡
Great tip 👍
Why? Does it become easier to digest ?
always get peanutbutter that has no palm oil in it, there will be a layer of oil on top of it inside the jar. That and you should get organically grown to avoid pesticide arsenic content. Most peanutbutter also has sugars added into it which is a big no no
Why not just grind some peanuts on your own. You'll know what it has
Thanks for the scary information ,who wants pesticides and arsenic through the day.
@@animatedmvs8818 where were the peanuts sourced from? It's the same problem plus you have to do it yourself
Very interesting recipe
Looks so good, I will try it!
Hope you enjoy :)
