Jamie Eason “Oh Baby!” Carrot Cake Protein Bar

Non-fat no-stick spray
1 cup oat flour (ground oatmeal found in the health section of your grocery store)
2 scoops vanilla whey protein (look for a low sugar, low fat and low carb variety)
2 tsp cinnamon (heaping)
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
4 egg whites
¾ cup Ideal (Xylitol - baking) or Splenda
2 4 oz. jars or packs of baby carrots (instead of shredded carrots)
1 4 oz. baby food jar of water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 x 8 pyrex dish with non-stick butter spray.
In a large bowl, combine flour, protein, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and allspice.
In a medium bowl, mix egg whites, sweetner, water and baby food until well combined. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix well. Finally, fold in the quick cooking oats (optional) and stir until just combined.
Pour batter into the pyrex dish and spread evenly. Bake 28 - 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and cut into 16 pieces – 4 x 4.
