Chocolate, Banana & Almond Butter Protein Bars





Makes approximately 24 snack-size bars


Here's an easy snack idea that's relatively healthy and protein-rich. If you have a sweet tooth, you'll likely want to add more chocolate syrup to this mix. I kept my chocolate dosage low as the syrup is loaded with sugar and this is meant to be somewhat of a healthy snack. 


Ingredients 

  • 2 1/2 cups oats
  • 1/2 cup of whey protein powder
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • 2 T almond butter
  • 3 egg whites
  • 2 mashed bananas
  • 2 T chocolate syrup
  • 3 T milk 
Preheat over to 350 degrees and coat and 8X8 pan with non-stick spray

Mix the oats, protein powder and cinnamon. Add peanut butter and stir until well combined. Add egg whites, bananas, honey and milk.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting into bars.
