Decided to make some of my own since the packaged stuff seems overpriced. Stole the recipe from a link on the muscletalk forums but worked out the calories and nutritional info myself from the stuff I used:
Ingredients
200g peanut butter.
175g set honey.
150g oats.
130g protein powder.
Method
- Put PB and honey in something microwaveable. Stick it in on high for 90 seconds.
- Remove and mix thoroughly into a diarrhetic gloop.
- Stir in oats and protein powder.
- It will go dry. Very dry. But keep mixing and eventually it'll turn into a sort of sticky muesli.
- At this point it'll still be a little warm and worryingly dry, and you'll wonder how it'll ever turn into anything resembling flapjack. Get a flat baking tin and press it down so it's all level and it should look half presentable.
- Pop it in the fridge.
When chilled it should come out looking like this:

Nutrition Info
Peanut butter - 1190kcal, 50g protein, 20g carb, 102g fat.
Honey - 525kcal, 0 protein, 152g carb, 0 fat.
Oats - 534kcal, 17g protein, 90g carb, 12g fat.
Protein powder - 506kcal, 104g protein, 7g carb, 7g fat.
Total: 2755kcal, 171g protein, 262g carb, 121g fat.
It actually tastes pretty good. Mine has a slightly odd taste as I only had chocolate orange flavoured protein powder, but with plain, chocolate or vanilla I imagine it would be much better. The peanut butter definitely comes through dominantly as you'd expect. Should be good for 10-12 servings at around 230-275kcal a slice. I'll be having these as late night snacks as an extra meal supplement.
