Vanilla Protein Bars image

I was in search of a tasty energy bar that was filled with fiber and protein and after playing with a variety of granola bar recipes I came up with this. Now it's become a perfect on-the-go breakfast for both my husband and I. Based upon 18 bars per 9 x 13 pan = Cal = 287 Fat = 4.8 Carbs = 47.0 (Dietary Fiber = 4.8) Protein = 17.8

Time 50m

Yield 18 bars, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 cups rolled oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup wheat germ
1/2 cup flax seed
8 scoops vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup dried mixed fruit (optional)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup honey
3 egg whites
6 ounces nonfat vanilla yogurt
2 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, wheat germ, flaxseed, protein powder, spices, dried fruit and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the honey, egg whites, yogurt and oil. Mix well. Pat the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bars begin to turn golden at the edges. Cool for 5 minutes, then cut into bars while still warm. Do not allow the bars to cool completely before cutting, or they will be too hard to cut.
