These healthy breakfast bars provide a respectable level of protein and fiber without a ton of calories. Best of all, they can be eaten on the run. Reconfigure the "additions" to suit your fancy.... or replace the Splenda with another sweetener if you're trying to stay "au natural." This is a base recipe that can be tweaked to your taste!

This is a "smarter" version of my previously published Sweet Potatoe Muffins. I've made substitutions for most of the "bad" ingredients and kept within the guildlines (per serving) that is approved for the Fat Smash Diet Phase 1 and up.
In this recipe, the flour has been replaced with fresh ground oat flour, which is a whole grain. The extra pumpkin and banana help to compensate for the large amount of oil in my original recipe. The brown sugar was reduced and substituted with Splenda to make what is close to the "Splenda Brown Sugar Blend". Eggs replaced with healthier liquid egg whites. Since the fat, calories, and sugars have been drastically reduced I have allowed 2 mini muffins to a serving. Hope you all enjoy this, I did! Tested and approved...by my family!

During a trip to the Turkish coast, my friends and I gobbled down vegetarian bulgur "meatballs," called yalanci cig kofte. "Yalanci" means liar because the recipe is meant to mimic the raw meat version.
WARNING: This is incredibly spicy and strong in flavor, thanks to the raw onion and garlic. Use less hot pepper flakes if you prefer mild dishes.
