Chefs - help a honkey out (homemade protein bars...)

[ChefWide]

Yah, good info Miss Pamela.. on a comercial level most invert sugar is proceseed by enzymatic reaction useing invertase rather then chemical reaction using acids.. you end up with a much more stable and much purer product.. that having been said, for this protein bar fest i would lean toward less carbs.. so i am going to whip out a version tonight with....

8oz ANPB
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup water
4 scoops MMilk Cookies and Cream Flavor
12 scoops ISO AGB
2 cup oatmeal
.5 cups pecan pieces
Splenda
Cinnamon
Instant Coffee


Macro totals look like:

cals 4345
fat 171, 36%
cho 311, of which 70gm are fiber, 22%
pro 448, 42%

not sure what the yield is gonna look like, but will check it out... i would like to get 14 bars outta this so that each looks like about 300 cals.. mabey a tiny bit less....

carbs are low on this, my choice, but the addition of some dried fruits would hit that.
.

just made 'em.. cooling now.. taste killer hot, will see how the firm up.

Actually, i was going to pour whole butter hazelnut caramel and ganache over them and eat them with whipped cream and a scoop of espresso gellato...



Or take sweaty naked pics of myself and post them....



Not sure yet....

I would just mix the shit together and put it in a tupperware bowl or something. I'm not much of a culinary artist.

And please...no nekkid sweaty pics.

Hombree, it was yust a yolk, tu sabe?






Actualy, they came out pretty friggin great!! had to whip the whole mess back in the micro after i mixed together it was a bit wet, which is normally just what i am looking for.. but i digress...

A little more in nuke-o-rama and then into a plastic lined caserole dish.. chilled up pretty good.. still a bit gooey.. i think the starches in the oats need more l'amour... next batch...

does anyone have a recipe for home made protein bars that have no peanut products in them? no baking would be preferred but not necessary.

Thanks

Hey JT, hope all is well, mon.


Yah, no problem, those bars i made last night came out GREAT.. not hard though.. moist and chewey but not hard like a Big 100 bar or some such..

Tell me, is it the peanuts? or ANY nuts? is the fat ratio? check my recipe above and eyeball the macros, my actual bars are probably a few grams lower in fat and higher in fiber/carbs as i used more oats and less ANPB than i listed there, and had to add more water to get the oats and protein to mix... then it was a little too wet so i had to nuke it a little longer:

conclusion? no problems... tastes great, just might need a little tweeking in microwave and liquid variation.
