Directions

Toast your oats then set aside to cool. Line the bottom of a baking sheet or pan with parchment paper and spray with PAM or lightly coat with canola oil. Set aside, and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In Bowl #1, combine the protein powder, oat bran, quinoa flour, ground flax seed, wheat germ, rolled oats, sunflower seeds and salt. Mix well then add the Triple Greens powder and mix again until well blended. Set aside. In Bowl #2, Combine all three of your dried fruits, leaving the cranberries whole, and chopping the apples & apricots to match. In Bowl #3, whisk the tofu until smooth, add the cottage cheese and whisk again, and then add the yogurt and whisk again. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and peanut butter, 1 at a time, and beat to combine after each addition. Add this to the protein powder mixture and stir well to combine. Fold in the contents of Bowl #2, ensuring an even consistency. Now add the cup of cooked quinoa and blend well. Lastly, add a tablespoon of cinnamon or your favorite aromatic spice and mix well a final time. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, until the center rises slightly.. Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting into bars. I generally get 24 bars from this batch, but smaller bars are also an option. These bars truly provide a well balanced meal for those of us on the run, watching fat intake seeking high protein.
