Peanut Butter Protein Bar Recipe

Some protein snacks can be a healthy alternative to help someone satisfy their sweet tooth, as well as add some extra calories and protein for someone looking to build muscle. These low-fat bars are big in taste and rich in fiber with a light spread of peanut butter covering the top.

3 ½ cups quick oats

1 ½ cups powdered nonfat milk

1 cup sugar-free pancake syrup

2 egg whites beaten

¼ cup orange juice

1 tsp vanilla

½ cup natural applesauce

4 scoops low-carb chocolate or vanilla whey protein powder

Frosting - 1/3 cup natural peanut butter

Directions - Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix all dry ingredients in bowl and mix well. In a separate bowl, combine egg whites, orange juice, applesauce and sugar-free syrup. Blend well. Stir liquids into dry ingredients until mixed. The consistency will be thick and comparable to cookie dough. Spread batter into a 9x12 baking dish sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake about 20 min. or until edges are crisp and browned and inserted knife comes out clean. Frost with natural peanut butter. Cut into 10 bars. Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated.
