Baked Protein Oatmeal Bars

---

These protein bars are addictively good and packed with over 20g of protein and loads of fiber so you can eat them morning, afternoon and even after dinner for a filling treat that keeps you fueled and satisfied.

Why Protein Oats?: I’m a big proponent of getting protein in first thing to help increase your overall intake throughout the day, which helps build healthy muscles and keeps you feeling full longer! For that reason, I like to add protein powder to my oats, but you can choose to add a greek yoghurt if you prefer a non powder method of boosting your morning oats, just decrease the amount of milk you use.
