Ingredients
1.5 cups quick oats2 scoops chocolate protein powder1/4 cup ground almonds1/4 cup toasted coconut (unsweetened)1 cup Powdered milk2TBL ground flax seed1/2 cup Sugar Free Coconut flavored syrup (I used Torini brand from World Market)1 Large egg
Directions
Makes 9 bars
Preheat oven to 350 deg. Spray a 8x8 cake pan with nonstick spray.

In a large bowl combine dry ingredients. Then add egg and syrup. Combine well and press evenly into pan. (it's a gooey mess) Bake 20-30 minutes just until the edges are brown. Dont bake too long or it will dry out too much.

Cool completely and keep in pan. Transfer to frige until cold and then cut them. If you try to cut them while they are even slightly warm, you'll have granola. (good chocolately granola, but not a bar)

    I really want to try making these, but I'm not sure what sugar free syrup is, and I don't usually shop at world market. Does anyone have any suggestions for a substitute for the Sugar Free Coconut flavored syrup?

    I would substitute hemp seeds for the flax seeds to get more nutrition out of these. - 8/27/12
