Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Protein Bars
Makes 15 Bars
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups oats - roasted in the oven without oil for 10-15 minutes
1 cup natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
1/2 cup agave
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 tbsp grain sweetened chocolate chips
1 cup whey protein powder (plain or vanilla - make sure it is low carb and low fat)
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp chia seeds
INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. You may have to knead it by hand as dough can be thick (be sure your oats are cooled down from being roasted or they will melt the chocolate chips). Spread out the batter on a cookie sheet or other baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the bars are a nice golden brown color. Cut bars and allow time to cool. Store in a ziploc bag or tupperware container. *Eat for breakfast along with a piece of fruit or have it as a snack throughout the day. |
