These vegan cereal bars were inspired by the success of the protein shake granola I made a while ago. The shake acts as a tasty binder that holds everything together, meaning there's no need to add any fat or sugar. They're great for breakfast on-the-go, or tucking into a lunchbox/gym bag
I've just realised I forgot to mention the exact baking time in the video. I think I had them in there for 1.5 hours. I turned the temperature up to 150°C/300°F after an hour. Next time, I'm going to try them at 160°C/320°F, and turn it down if they start getting too dark on the sides

Welcome to my kitchen (lab?)
My channel is you watching the results of my 2am thoughts of “I wonder what would happen if I put A with B?” The answers lean heavily towards cake, and my ongoing quest to find a good meat substitute. I’m a vegan that loves animal products, but hates what’s involved; so I’ve dived headfirst into a rabbit hole of different plant-based textures and flavours. These are often the 1st time that I’ve tried a recipe, and I’ll talk you through why I’m using the ingredients and what I think happened when things go wrong.
Grab a vessel of whatever makes you happy and enjoy, but be warned; it’s messy here sometimes!

Protein Shake Granola: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6LbhIOJpZeHna8 Recipe notes & tips: - I found a silica packet in a drawer (the little things you find inside purchases that usually say “DO NOT EAT”). I’ve stuck it in the plastic container with the bars to see if that helps them stay crisp - I had a very quick look at a few of the ingredients to see if there’s any real cost savings. There isn’t when you compare these directly with things like Nature Valley bars. There might be if you start looking at specific protein bars though. If you do want to make them much cheaper, take a look at the chocolate, orange and ginger granola (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3PKn4l4pMd8msU). I used aquafaba in that one (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). I reckon you could try using that mixed with some sweetener to get a decent result

Perfect timing Rachel, exactly what I’m looking for right now ❤

[@WhichWayGames]

This is perfect for me! Protein on the go with a yummy flavour, yes please 😊 another great video

[@AuntieRachelsChaoticKitchen]

Perfect!

[@scrane5500]

Looks great--always looking for plant based snacks as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and BLV in dairy--thanks so much for sharing

[@AuntieRachelsChaoticKitchen]

My pleasure!

[@daviddowsett440]

I am definitely going to give those a go, they look great

[@AuntieRachelsChaoticKitchen]

They're so easy, and you can change them up each time by using different ingredients

[@dmagik8]

Clever work, never waste anything. You still mad fine!

[@elsjeprins3335]

Best thing they have no added sugar, Most commercial bars are over sugared and far too sweet for my taste, I think I would love a very thin layer of 100% chocolate as a little cover and a ‘je ne sais quoi’ for that extra little bit of luxury.

Hi rachel I go in and out of being a vegan. I tend to get bored with what I eat ( I'm 56) so I go vegan for 3 yrs then meat eater for 12 month as an example I'm retired so I have time to cook so any advice you can give me on cooking I appreciate x

[@AuntieRachelsChaoticKitchen]

Have you ever tried meal planning? Maybe try doing a month at a time, and that way you'll be able to spot repetition well ahead of time. That's not to say you have to stick to it religiously, but it could help you to identify what it is that bores you. For me, texture became even more important after going vegan, so I always try to get something crunchy on my plate/snack basket
