Protein flapjack

Belmit · 03-03-2009, 01:17

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.

There is one rule about protein powder, ignore all serving suggestions. It's not food, so just mix with water, neck it and think of England.

That doesn't mean you can't mix it with food to take in some extra calories

Maybe Bakez should make some of these

I just make regular flapjacks (oats, honey/syrup, brown sugar, butter, and then pour in lots of protein powder). But with peanut butter that sounds pretty awesome!

Almost finished this. By god it's orangey. Too orangey for crows. Will use plain chocolate on the next batch.

I might give it a while one night. My stuff is plain choc

edit: Realised I don't have any set honey, just the runny stuff
