Ingredients 1/2 cup peanut butter 3 cups oats 4 tbsp bee free honey 84 grams soy protein isolate 1/2 cup water Directions Mix everything into a bowl until completely distributed. Pack into a wax paper/parchment paper lined container (I did a larger container to make thinner bars) and cut them into as many bars as you want.

You can freeze them for 15 minutes before cutting to help them firm up. Wrap in parchment paper and freeze for several months or refrigerate for a few weeks. I love these because of the nice soft chewy texture and the lovely flavor mixtures.
