Packed with wholesome ingredients and a boost of protein, these High Protein Carrot Oat Bars are the perfect on-the-go snack or post-workout treat. Made with hearty rolled oats, a scoop of vanilla protein powder, and finely grated carrots, these bars deliver both nutrition and flavor.

Whether you're looking for a healthy breakfast solution, a midday energy boost, or a high-protein snack, these bars are as satisfying as they are nutritious.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.
Stir in the grated carrots, raisins, and nuts if using until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift out using the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack.
Once completely cool, cut into 12 bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
