Ingredients
1 c Pumpkin, canned, without salt1 pkg. Mori-Nu, Tofu, silken, lite firm (340 g)2 egg whites rawwater from the water chestnuts can2 T sucralose for baking ( 3 pkts), to taste1 tsp Cinnamon, ground, to taste1/8 tsp Allspice, ground, to taste1/8 tsp Nutmeg, ground, to taste1/3 c. Raisin, minced8 oz. water chestnuts, minced (1 can)1 c quick oatmeal, not instant 1 c Fiber One Cereal, original4 servings Carb solutions vanilla protein powder, 4 serving
Directions
1. Makes 12 bars Preheat oven to 350

2. Spray an 9x13 pan with oil and coat with ground oatmeal (ground reg. oatmeal in blender or coffee grinder)

3. Mix the pumpkin, tofu, egg whites, water from the water chestnuts, spices, and sucralose in a blender.

4. Pour into a bowl, stir in the protein powder, minced dried fruit, minced water chestnuts, oatmeal and Fiber One.

5. Mix well. Batter should be very thick and lumpy. Half way between and cookie dough and a bread dough. (If it's not, it's alright, you probably chose to substitute a different protein powder for .Carb Solutions.)

6. Spoon into the coated pan, and press in to the corners and flatten with a spoon. I prick all over the top with a fork to create a visually pleasing texture and sprinkle with cinnamon to taste.

7. Put in the oven for 20-30 minutes. Less time makes a softer bar, more time maker a firmer bar. Tofu firms while cooling.

8. Let cool completely in the pan then cut into 12 bars.

9. These should keep in the fridge for up to two weeks in an airtight plastic container. They are better the next days.

I have tried several other protein powdered, with disastrous results. Highly recommend only using Carbs Solutions.

Dried Fruit Suggestions: blueberries, pineapple, apple, prunes, strawberries, etc. Have fun!
