🧂 Ingredients

1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup peanut butter, or your favorite nut butter

(or a combo of both)
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/3 cup honey, agave, or real maple syrup
1/2 cup ground flaxseed or chia seeds
1 cup protein powder of choice

(I like Optimum Nutrition's Vanilla Ice Cream flavor 100%Whey Protein)
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup mix-in options: chopped dates, chopped apricots, chopped craisins, mini chocolate chips, sweetened or unsweetened coconut flakes, nuts, sunflower seeds, pepitas, etc.
Pinch of salt

1 Place your FORTEEZ Mini Loaf Tray (or Tray or Mold of choice) on Perforated
Baking Sheet and set aside.
2 In your Stainless Mixing Bowl, mix all ingredients with a Heat-Resistant Spatula
until well combined. The mixture should be fairly soft and not dry and crumbly.
If needed, add a splash of water or milk or an extra drizzle of honey to achieve
the desired consistency.
3 Portion the mixture into the wells of the Tray and press down firmly.
4 Freeze for a few hours or overnight. Since the mixture is soft, it doesn’t
freeze all the way and still stays chewy.
5 Unmold the bars from the Tray and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2
weeks. Or freeze them in an airtight container.
