Introduction
I was looking for a homemade protein bar that meets my needs. Frustrated with the amount of processing for protein bars, I finally decided to make my own. These taste similar to cake brownies, a little dryer. The coconut icing adds the moisture needed to make these wonder. I was looking for a homemade protein bar that meets my needs.

Ingredients
-
Brownies:
1/4 Cup coconut oil
4 egg whites
1 2-4 oz jar baby applesauce (less processed than other types)
1/2 Cup xylitol (I use Ideal)
1 Cup oat flour
2 scoops vanilla whey protein
1 cup almond milk - unsweetened
2/3 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
Icing
1/4 Cup coconut oil
4 oz fat free cream cheese
1/2 Cup xylitol (again, I use Ideal)
1/2 tsp vanilla
Tips
If the mixture looks to thick add a little bit more milk. If it looks to thin add a little bit more cocoa powder or flour.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Begin by melting coconut oil in microwave. Mix coconut oil, xylitol and applesauce. Add almond milk.
In a separate bowl combine the whey protein, oat flour, baking soda, coco powder, and sea salt.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in thirds.
Spray pan with cooking spray. Add batter. Bake about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
For the icing, allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature. Cream together the cream cheese and coconut oil. Add xylitol.
Serving Size: makes 16 servings in a 9x13 pan
