Does anyone have a good recipe for homemade protein or energy bars? I've tried one recipe so far and it's really good but takes a lot of ingredients. Plus I like variety

I found this recepie but have not tried it as of yet but am looking forward to it. I will swap out the splenda and use sweetened soymilk though.

• ½ cup unsweetened soymilk
• ¼ cup egg whites (2 whites)

• ¼ cup milled flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoons natural peanut butter
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8″ pan with cooking oil spray.
2. In a microwave safe bowl, combine oats and milk; cook for 60 seconds. Stir and allow to cool; mix in egg whites and vanilla.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whey protein, Splenda, flaxseed, flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.

There was an entry here a few months back - search "Homemade Lara Bars" - it directs you to a site with recipe. I have bought the few ingredients needed but not made them yet.0
