    Make Your Own Protein Bars

    Recipe Introduction


    original recipe from Stella's Kitchen for Bodybuilding


    List of Ingredients




    Difficulty: Easy
    Time Required: 20 Minutes


    What You Need:

    3 1/2 cups quick oats (buzz steel cut gf oats in the blender or food processor to break them up)
    1 1/2 cups powdered dairy-free milk (like Dari-Free or Rice Twice)
    4 scoops flavoured protein powder (hemp, rice, etc.)
    1 cup maple syrup
    2 egg whites, beaten (this is for binding. If egg-free replace with 1/2 veg puree like sweet potato or squash)
    1/4 cup orange or other low sugar juice (like pear)
    1 teaspoon oure vanilla extract or use the seeds from 1 vanilla bean pod
    1/4 c. natural applesauce (no extra sugar added)

    Recipe



    Here's How:

    Preheat over to 325 and spray a baking sheet or 9x12 baking dish with non-stick spray. The 9x12 baking dish will yield thicker bars.
    Mix oats, powdered milk, and protein powder in bowl and blend well.

    In separate bowl, combine eggwhites, orange juice, applesauce, and the sugar-free syrup and blend well.
    Stir liquid mixture into dry ingredients until blended. The
    consistency will be thick and similar to cookie dough.
    Spread batter onto pan and bake until edges are crisp and browned.

    Cut into 10 bars and store in airtight container or freeze.

    Tips:

    If you find you want a moister bar, use 1/2 cup of natural applesauce.

    Kitchen Tip for Lowfat Baking:

    Did you know you can replace the oil in a recipe with an equal amount of applesauce? Applesauce will add the same moisture of fat but not the added calories and it won’t alter the flavor.

    Note from BL:

    Can't use even gf oats, like me? Try buckwheat, quinoa or rice flakes and break them up in the blender the same way you would steel cut oats.
