Protein bar recipe??

[kate920]

Looking for a GOOD recipe. My experiments have failed. I'd like to make something myself, rather than buy a box of pre-packaged ones, to replace my sudden urge to bake bad stuff, cookies, brownies, you get the picture

There are tons of protein bar recipes on the forum. There is a long thread just on protein bars alone. Just do a search and have fun cooking

I love MagicPunt's recipe but I only did 2 cups of oats and ground one of those up for consistency. I also mixed it with my hands with as little water as I could get away (no milk at all) with so they don't have to be refrigerated as religiously. I take them to school since I have a lot of 15 minute breaks between classes when I can't cut up chicken and eat it while walking to my next class. =D

In a large bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
In a medium bowl, mix egg whites, Splenda, ricotta and baby food until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix well. Finally, fold in the quick cooking oats (optional) and stir until just combined.
Pour batter into the pyrex dish and spread evenly. Bake 28 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and cut into 16 pieces ? 4 x 4.
