So it's been a longgg time since I last blogged. I'm sorry! I've been so so busy but I wanted to add a new recipe I recently discovered. It's a little different from what we usually blog about, but I wanted to post anyway. You know how much of a health freak I have recently become, and I found a recipe for homemade protein bars. They are really easy to make and taste really good. You should eat one serving (2 bars) as a midmorning snack and one in the late afternoon. Let me know what you think!
What you will need:
Oat flour (I will admit, this was difficult to find. Whole Foods did not carry it. I actually ended up finding it at Kroger in the health food isle. You can also make your own by putting oats in a food processor until it is fine)
4 egg whites
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder (you can find this almost anywhere: grocery stores, academy, health food stores, GNC, ect.)
1/2 cup splenda or truvia (I use truvia, but I think splenda has less carbs)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
8 oz berry flavored baby food (I used organic apple blueberry-they usually come in 4 oz so buy 2 jars)
3 tbsp baking cocoa
4 oz water (I used the empty baby food jar to measure this)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix dry ingredients (flour, protein, baking soda, salt, cocoa)
3. Mix wet ingredients in separate bowl (egg whites, splenda, baby food, water)
4. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix together
5. Spray cooking dish with non stick butter spray and add batter to dish
Makes 16 squares, serving size is 2 bars
