THEY TASTE AS GOOD AS THEY SOUND!!!! EVEN HUBBY APPROVED!!!! I found this recipe on Jamie Eason’s Recipe Page and Decided to Try it out! I only have Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder (which is a little griddy and not as tasty as Whey- BUT since it was a first time, I now know to try it with Whey Vanilla and it will PROBABLY BE BETTER!!!! )
Low Carb Cinnamon Apple Protein Bars
- 4 scoops of Sun Warrior Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder (any vanilla protein powder will work)
- 1/2 cup of alomnd meal/ flour ( I used Oat Flour)
- 2tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice (calls for all spice)
- 3 egg whites (due to vegan powder being thicker, i added 2 more egg whites)
- 1/4 cup stevia/ Xylitol (i used)
- 1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple grated (i used 2 small empire apples)
Directions: Pre Heat over to 350 degrees, spray 8×8 Pyrex dish with non-stick spray. In large bowl combine all dry ingredients, set aside. In a smaller bowl combine egg whites, cottage cheese, vanilla extract, and Xylitol, whisk until incorporated then add dry ingredients. Fold in apples and mix until Combined! POur batter into dish and bake on 350 for 25 minutes. (I added cinnamon to the top before baking) Let them sit for about 3 minutes before cutting!
