Chocolate Protein Bars

Holy cow. These bars are delicious. And healthy. How often does that happen? I would dare to even call them brownies.  They're that good!

This is another one of Jamie Eason's brilliant recipes -- and I highly recommend trying them. You won't be disappointed! Packed full of protein, low in calories, and you get to eat two bars per serving. Go crazy!

Ingredients:

1 cup Oat Flour (or put 1 cup of quick cooking oats into a Cuisinart and grind to a powder)

4 Egg Whites

2 scoops Vanilla Whey Protein Powder

½ cup Truvia

½ tsp Baking Soda

¼ tsp Salt

8oz Berry flavored Baby Food (I used two 4 ounce jars of apple and blueberry medley)

3 tbsp Baking Cocoa

4oz Water

Directions:

1.       Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.       Mix dry ingredients (oat flour, vanilla whey protein, baking soda, salt, baking cocoa) together in a large bowl.

3.       Mix wet ingredients (egg whites, Truvia, berry flavored baby food, water) together in a medium sized bowl.

4.       Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix together with a whisk.

5.       Spray cooking dish with a non stick spray and add batter to dish.

6.       Bake 25-30 minutes in oven, or until middle is set.

Makes 16 squares, serving size is 2 bars.
