2 3/4 ounces whole wheat flour, approximately 1/2 cup
3/4 ounce wheat germ, approximately 1/4 cup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

Line the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and lightly coat with canola oil. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, oat bran, wheat flour, wheat germ, and salt. Set aside.
Coarsely chop the dried fruit and place in a small bowl and set aside.
In a third mixing bowl, whisk the tofu until smooth. Add the apple juice, brown sugar, eggs, and peanut butter, 1 at a time, and whisk to combine after each addition. Add this to the protein powder mixture and stir well to combine. Fold in the dried fruit.
Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 205 degrees F.
Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting into squares. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Time 40m

Yield 20-30 bars, 27 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 ounces silken low-fat tofu, drained well (almost the whole package)
15 large medjool dates, pitted
1/4 cup coconut oil
3 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup almonds
1/4 cup raisins (optional) or 1/4 cup chopped dried fruit (optional)
6 ounces 70% dark chocolate

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Puree the tofu, dates and coconut oil in a blender.
Transfer this paste to a bowl.
Add oats and nuts and seeds and dried fruits as you desire.
Spray coat a 9x13 inch pan.
Spread the mixture evenly into the pan.
Cook for 30 minutes, or until firm and browned.
Melt the chocolate in a microwaveable bowl.
Spread melted chocolate over the top of the bars.
Allow to cool for at least 1 hour, or put in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Cut into small 1x3 or 2x4 inch pieces, they are very filling!
These keep well for a week in the fridge, or for 3 months in the freezer. I freeze 3/4 of my batch and eat them straight out of the freezer, they're not too hard!
