So you want a PROTEIN BAR? (Homemade)

[thickmasss]

Couldnt find the main protein bar recipe thread but here we go:

PROTEIN BARS

- 1 Cup of EGG WHITES
- 1 Cup of OATS (or 2)
- Some Splenda
- Drizzle of sugar free syrup
- 2 Scoops of Choc Whey

Mix all. Bake at 350 degrees F, 175 Celcius.
Cut up when it cools down, enjoy





** TIPS **
I'd recommend adding in 1 or 2 mashed bananas
and/or spreading PB on top afterwards, they were a tad dry!

[BelieveTheHype]

Looks really good, and healthy....definitely going to try to make it. Just need some Sugar Free Syrup!

[thickmasss]

Oh the sugar free syrup isnt a must, I could barely taste it to be honest - try some form of sweetener though just to give it a bit more flavour

[fatasskid]

OoOoO nice :], i should try that!

[Ryanmckd]

how did that little ingredients make something so big :O? looks good

[vazquez]

to the op rep's

and whats the macro breakdown?

[boognish666]

I think I might try this without the Splenda and Sugar Free Syrup. The whey alone should make it sweet enough for my tastes - I'll report back the results when I get around to making it. Thanks for the recipe!


Any worries about the oven denaturizing the protein?

Totals
Calories: 659
Fat: 7
Carb: 62
Protein: 84

Divided into 5 (via the way I cut it) Thats with egg whites/whey/oats
&nope no worries about denaturizing it, at the end of the day majority of protein consumed IS cooked so ..

awesome!

invent a recipe for chocolate whey frosting to put on them protein bars

how long do u cook it for@?@? hurry it's already in the oven lol, i still honestly don't see how you got so much out of those ingredients, i mines like 1 cm thick lol and smaller tray

10-15 minutes

[pj_rage]

Sweet recipe!

How many eggs does it roughly take to get 1 cup worth of whites?

[thickmasss]

Should be about 8 or so if I remember correctly

[superfreakiest]

Good recipe, thx... you know its perfectly healthy too add a ton of baking cocoa (100% cocoa) and/or a bit of honey. Even a handful of raisins. I may try that with your recipe.

[Ryanmckd]

god damit, ate the whole thing in 1 sitting lol. took me 9 eggs.

baking protein powder breaks it down and it becomes useless.

No, it doesn't.

then what happens to eggs, chicken, beef, soy, pork, cheese and other dairy products when they cook?

[Chumbawumber]

Hi There,
Your recipe sounds great, can you recommend something inplace of the oats I am gluten free so no oats for me.
Thanks

google it and you will understand, it really does make it worthless, there have been a bunch of topics on it in the nutrition forum.

No. You made an outlandish claim (whether you understand that, or not), so it is YOUR responsibilty to support your claim.

Sorry mate I cant be sure BUT I'm 98% sure if you used any type of flour in placement of oats you'd be good to go as well

Some additition info for you courtesy of Designer Whey ...

However, exposing protein to extreme temperature (hot or cold) will denature the protein to a certain degree. For example, heating whey protein to temperatures above 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) results in denaturation. For this reason, cooking or baking with DP denatures the protein. In addition, repeated freezing and thawing of a protein solution can result in deanaturation, but simply exposing the powder to low temperatures does not cause denaturation.

This does not mean that the amount of the protein is diminished. Denaturation can affect biological value (bioavailability) and may slow the digestion and absorption of the protein. (However, not to worry here; although the biological value is lowered somewhat by cooking, it is not reduced to zero.) Regardless, denatured protein still retains full nutritional value with regard to amino acid composition. And Designer Whey is a good source of all essential and non-essential amino acids; therefore, even if it is denatured, it is still a very high quality protein source. Also, all proteins are denatured when cooked (e.g., eggs, meat, soy, etc.). I hope this helps to explain the full nutritional value of the amount you use, and the Amino Acid content is still the same.

Layne: It is absolutely no deal whatsoever. You see proteins are long chains of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds. Each protein folds into it's own natural 'conformational' shape depending upon the sequence of the amino acids contained within it. Heat and acid will both denature proteins which means they will unfold from this conformational state. However, this does not 'destroy' the protein, it simply causes it to unfold. The amino acids remain intact and are still available. Just to make my point that it does not matter if you denature a protein, look at what happens during digestion. Proteins are exposed to concentrated acid in the stomach (6 Molar Hydrochloric Acid) which will denature almost ANY protein. In the small intestine the denatured protein is then cleaved into individual amino acids, di, and tri-peptides. So as you can see, denaturation is a natural part of digestion and in the end it really doesn't matter anyway if you denature a protein because it ends up being cleaved anyway.

you were saying?

those look good! i make my own protein bars/cookies all the time, but i never put bananas in them. I will next time to give some moisture
