Lemon Protein Bars

These homemade Lemon Protein Bars are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy!

LEMON PROTEIN BARS

When life gives you lemons make lemon protein bars! We buy a large bag of lemons from Costco almost every week and I love to use them to make these bars and our lemon cream steel cut oats especially during the warmer months.

My favorite candy has always been Sour Patch Kids because I love that sweet and sour taste, which these have! If you also love that combination try our Sour Patch Grapes Fruit Candy recipe.

VARIATIONS AND TIPS TO MAKE THESE PROTEIN BARS

• This recipe calls for one cup of oat flour but you could also use all quick oats or a combination of both.
• If you buy lemon juice make sure it’s pure lemon juice. You can also squeeze fresh lemons. Use a lemon squeezer to make the job easier!
• Since these protein bars (along with all of our other homemade protein bars) do not have preservatives they will spoil if left out on the counter. You must store them in a refrigerator or freezer.
