Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars
Ingredients:
1 cup oat flour
1 ½ cups whey protein powder
¼ cup cocoa powder
½ cup nonfat dry milk powder
¼ cup stevia blend (or other artificial sweetener)
½ teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
½ teaspoon super-strength chocolate flavouring (LorAnn brand)
½ teaspoon super-strength peanut butter flavouring (LorAnn brand)
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ - 1/3 cup water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9”x9” baking pan with wax paper.
Combine all dry ingredients in blender -- Process on high speed 2 minutes. In a bowl, beat eggs, flavourings, and peanut butter. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture. With an electric mixer, slowly add the water until dough becomes a “gooey play-dough” consistency. Pour batter in lined pan, spreading, or pressing dough to an even thickness.
Bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly. Remove wax paper and allow to cool completely. Cut into 8 bars. Delicious with low-carb ice cream.
