40 mins prepServes 12
If you fell into the Built Bar craze like I did - you are going to love this homemade version!!💪🏼 These homemade protein bars are cookies & cream flavored and high in protein, yielding 12 servings at 107 calories and 12g protein each.
1. soak oreos in milk a few hours or overnight
2. strain out the oreo crumbs and pour milk into saucepan
3. sprinkle gelatin on top in a thin layer
4. mix slightly and allow the gelatin to bloom (hydrate) should turn into a thick goo (~10 minutes)
5. place over low heat and mix until it runs thin
6. add to a mixing bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes to cool slightly
7. add protein and whisk until it doubles or triples in volume (can take a while, be patient but don’t let the mixture get cold, it will start to harden and make transferring to a pan more difficult)
8. pour into parchment lined pan and allow to harden for at least 4 hrs (preferably overnight and not covered)
9. once ready, cut into shapes and cover in melted chocolate + coconut oil mixture (coconut oil helps thin out the chocolate for a thinner shell over the bar)
10. ENJOY!
