Ingredients

    3c. oats
    8 scoops of protein powder
    3/4c almond or peanut butter
    1.5c skim milk
    2 egg whites
    2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt (optional)
    1c. dark chocolate chips (optional)
    2 ripe bananas (also optional - makes bars moist, and more palatable than without)

Directions

blend together protein powder, butter, milk, egg whites, backing powder, salt, and bananas until smooth.

add in chocolate chips just until blended.

add in oats 1c at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition.

pour into lightly oiled pan (i use a 9 x 11" pan) and bake in a 350F oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

allow to cool in the pan, slice into 16 pieces, and freeze or store in the fridge. (about 20' at high altitude).

because these bars have no preservatives, they will get moldy within about 3 days if left at room temperature.
