Delicious and nutritious, these banana protein bars are the ultimate best no-bake snack for when you need a little pick-me-up before or after your workouts, in between your meals, and on days when you need to eat something on the go.
Line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, sugar and cinnamon, and mix well.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter and brown rice syrup and heat until melted. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix well. Add the banana and mix until combined. Stir through nuts if desired. Using a spoon, add the milk one spoonful at a time until a thick, firm batter is formed.
Transfer to the lined baking dish and press down firmly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, before slicing into 12 bars.
