Fudgy Protein Bars

I mentioned in my last bar how I became addicted to protein bars for a couple of weeks.  However, they are packed with calories and other fillers that wouldn't necessarily fit a "clean" diet.  I could tell physically because I felt bloated later in the day.  I knew my relationship with them would be short lived.  I had to find a clean protein bar recipe and luckily I found a delicious one!!!!  They taste like brownies.  Here you go!


Ingredients:
1 cup oat flour
4 egg whites
2 scoops of Vanilla Whey Protein Powder (Choose a clean protein powder! We use
MRM 100% All Natural Whey.)
1/3 cup (or less) Stevia in the Raw
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
8 oz berry flavored baby food
3 tbsp baking cocoa
4 oz water

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix the following together in a large bowl:
- Oat Flour
- Protein Powder
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- Baking Cocoa
3. Mix the following together in a small bowl:
- Egg Whites
- Stevia in the Raw
- Baby Food
- Water
4. Combine the ingredients from the small bowl into the large bowl and mix together.
5. Spray 8X8 dish with non-stick spray & add batter to the dish.
6. Bake for 20-30 minutes in oven.

Bake for 23 minutes so they are "gooey" like brownies. Once the protein bars have cooled, separate them into Ziploc bags or Saran Wrap so you can grab-and-go!
You MUST store these in the refrigerator or freezer as they will spoil because they have no preservatives!
