After a tough workout, it’s important to refuel with protein so that our muscles can recover. There are loads of ways to get protein into your diet but if you fancy something that satisfies your sweet tooth, then this recipe will be perfect.

The Ingredients

• ½ cup of milk of your choice
• 1 cup of smooth peanut butter (or nut butter of your choice!)
• ½ cup of honey
• 1 cup whey protein powder, we recommend vanilla!
• 2 cups uncooked rolled oats (any brand will do!)
• 1 large bar of dark chocolate! (or 2…)

You can add chocolate chips, dried fruit, blueberries, raspberries or whatever else you fancy to the mixture for extra flavour.

The Method!

You’ll need a pan, mixing bowl, big spoon, greaseproof paper, baking dish/ tray and a mug!

1. In a mixing bowl, blend the milk, peanut butter, and honey on low heat.
2. Heat all components thoroughly (Don’t boil them). Take off the heat.
3. Add the protein powder and oats to the wet ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey if needed. Add in any extras you fancy!
   If the mixture gets too thick, add some milk slowly until it’s easier to stir. The mixture should stay thick, not watery.
4. Find a small deep baking tray or dish. Use greaseproof paper if available and add the mixture. Spread evenly until you reach your desired thickness of the flapjack. Melt the chocolate and add on a dark chocolate topping!
5. Let the bars cool down and pop in the fridge. We found that the longer you leave them the better.
6. Once chilled, slice into square pieces. Keep it in a sealed container and store at a normal room temperature for a few days, or refrigerate for a week. We prefer them chilled.

Not eating post workout can cause low energy, dehydration, poor muscle recovery, low electrolyte levels, and low mood. So It’s important to refuel your body and our protein flapjacks could be just the thing you need! There really are loads of other ways to get a high protein snack into your diet post workout, with nuts and seeds, protein rich peanut butter on banana, cottage cheese, protein shakes and much more!
