Someone in FB posted a recipe which I am planning on doing this weeked.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Muffins (you can make bars instead):
2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
1 medium banana
1 egg
1/2 cup egg whites
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon honey
Combine all ingredients and mix well with hand mixer. Prepare your pan by spraying or liners and divide evenly. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Toothpick should come out clean.
You can use more or less cocoa and honey depending on your preferences or make substitutions.0 -
Muffin Topless Rich Chocolate Protein Bars
Ingredients:
1 Cup Oat Flour
2 Scoops Chocolate Casein protein powder (Whey will give a different consistency)
4 TB Unsweetened Baking Cocoa
1/2 Cup Stevia (or other natural zero cal sweetener)
1/4 tsp Salt (do not omit!)
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
8 oz Unsweetened Applesauce (I used baby food.. yup… baby food)
1/2 Cup Liquid Egg Whites
4 oz Water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray (I used Pam).
Mix dry ingredients together, then add wet ingredients. Mix until you get out all the lumps.
Pour mixture into baking dish and stick it in the oven for about 22 minutes for softer protein bars and closer to 25 minutes for firmer bars. Keep an eye on them at the 22 minute mark because each oven may vary.
Take out of the oven and let cool. Once cool, cut into 9 bars. I prefer to refrigerate mine but they will keep out of the oven for a few days.
Nutrition Facts: (this will vary slightly depending on the protein powder you choose).

What were these like? Were they rubbery? With the baking I have tried they tended to come out a bit hard or rubbery0
