Protein Bars For Breakfast

My kids wake up in the morning as hungry as a pack of wolves! As lucky as I am that all 4 of my girls will eat pretty much anything I set in front of them, they come down the stairs at 6:30 in the morning asking for breakfast– Just way too early! Which is why I like to make up some protein breakfast bars to have on hand for anyone waking up super hungry!

Packed full of protein, fiber, and potassium these breakfast bars aren’t just simple and yummy, they are a healthy-go-to choice as well! Which is why I often make my own batch and hide it away from the kiddos! Mama is busy and mama needs a healthy breakfast too!

Sweeteners

This recipe relies mostly on the natural sugar within the bananas. I like to use 1-2 tablespoons of natural maple syrup or raw honey to sweeten it up. You can use anything you have on hand, although brown sugar will make for a softer bar.
