Ingredients Needed to Make Blueberry Protein Bars

I used some of my favorite ingredients to not only add flavor but to bump up the protein and make them taste amazing! These are light and fluffy and are the furthest thing from a processed cardboard-tasting store-bought bar! I didn't want any refined flours or sugars either, so here is what I came up with:

• Kodiak Cakes Protein Power Cakes Pancake Mix
• Oat flour
• Coconut oil
• Egg whites
• Silk Protein Nut Milk
• Maple syrup
• Non-fat Plain Greek yogurt
• Blueberries
• Collagen Peptides (the same one I used in my Post-Run Smoothie)

Please see recipe below for all subsitiutions that can be made

How to Make Blueberry Protein Bars Made with Kodiak Cakes Power Pancake Mix

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a blender or food processor add in ½ cup of oatmeal and pulse until it is a finely ground flour.
3. In a large bowl add in 1 ½ cups of Kodiak Cakes Buttermilk Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix. To the bowl add all other remaining ingredients except the blueberries.
4. Mix until everything is combined and incorporated. Add a splash more milk if needed to thin out due to adding collagen peptides (may not be needed).
5. Add fresh or frozen blueberries and mix just until eventually distributed throughout the mixture.
6. Line a 9 x 13 jelly roll pan ** with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Spread mixture into the pan, making sure to spread evenly out into the corners.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the middle is set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
8. Remove from pan and cut into 18 - 1x2'' rectangle pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Do I Have to Use Collagen Peptides in These Bars or Can I Use Other Protein Powders?

Another protein powder can definitely be used.

There is lots of wiggle room here. I love using collagen peptide protein because it is flavorless and mixes well. So that doesn't change the taste or texture of these protein bars.

You could add your favorite protein powder to this mix too but note that it will change the flavor of the bars slightly (depending on what flavor protein you use). A vanilla protein powder would be lovely in this recipe! You may also need to add a splash more milk because a regular protein powder will make the mixture slightly thicker and it may need to be thinned out.

I have never tried another protein powder, so if you do, let me know how it works!

I am serious, you have to have this Collagen Protein! It is flavorless & tasteless and can be added to anything - hot or cold. I have gotten this one off Amazon and have zero complaints! (or just click the picture 🙂 )
