Cookie Dough Protein Bars

I was so excited to find a protein bar recipe that I could easily make at home! It does not take a lot of ingredients, it is super easy to make and it tastes like cookie dough!! So what’s not to love! This has been so satisfying and filling - tastes like a dessert but has 21g of protein, and it has been tested with a CGM and it’s blood sugar friendly!
