Muffin Top-Less

I’m often asked my opinion on Lara bars, Luna bars and other protein bars. While I understand these bars are convenient on-the-go (I myself have resorted to protein bars too!).. it’s far better to make your own at home! That way you can control what goes into them.. as many of them are laden with unnecessary chemicals and sugars.

Just yesterday, I baked Jamie Eason’s Lemon Protein Bars.. which are AMAZING!!!! 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup oat flour
• 2 scoops vanilla whey protein
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 qt mix Crystal Light (preferably without aspartame)
• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 cup Splenda, Truvia, or Ideal
• 8 oz baby food applesauce
• 4 oz water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix oat flour, vanilla whey protein, salt, baking soda and crystal light, in large bowl. Mix egg whites, Splenda, applesauce and water in a bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix together. Spray 8x8 glass pyrex dish with non-stick butter spray. Pour ingredients into dish. Bake 23 minutes.

Makes 16 squares, 2 squares per serving.
