100 Calorie No Bake Whey Protein Bar Cookies
These simple no bake cookies combine quick oats with vanilla protein powder for a high-protein treat. Sweetened with raw sugar and molasses, they are held together with a blend of peanut butter, skim milk, and butter. The mixture is cooked briefly, shaped, and set before cutting into squares. The recipe yields 10 cookies, each offering a satisfying snack with under 100 calories and 4.6 grams of protein.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup raw sugar
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder (I use Nitrean - 113 calories, 23g protein)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup quick oats
Method
- Place the butter, milk, sugar, and molasses into a saucepan and set it over heat. Stir continuously until the mixture begins to bubble, then reduce the heat.
- Add the peanut butter and protein powder, whisking to combine. Take the pan off the heat. Mix in the quick oats while the contents are still warm.
- Transfer the mixture to a pan or plate and press it down to form a layer roughly 1/2" thick. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, then slice into squares.
