Chocolate-Banana Protein Bars
"Commercial protein
bars are often made
with cheap protein
blends, such as soy and
hydrolyzed collagen.
Many are low in fiber
and need to be fortified
in order to offer
any vitamins and minerals
at all. Making
your own is easy, and
is considerably less expensive
than what you
can buy in a store.
Bars like these make
excellent snacks and
can also be used as a
a part of a quick meal
on-the-go."

ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 large raw egg whites
- 4 ounces nonfat milk
- 2 1⁄2 cups old fashioned oats
- 1⁄3 cup Splenda granular
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 60 g chocolate whey protein powder
directions
- Mix ingredients in a large bowl. Pour into non-stick cake pan. Bake at 300o F for 25 minutes or until firm. Let cool slightly before cutting.
- We have made these into 8 small bars, but you could easily make into 4 larger ones, with double the protein (e.g., 23 g protein per bar).
- If you don’t want the fat replace the oil with unsweetened applesauce. It will taste just as good and still retain the moist but firm texture.

These were amazing! I actually put them into a 11x7 because there was enough batter. I used 1 cup of oats, 1/4 cup wheat germ, 1/2 cup wheat bran, and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour. I also used EAS chocolate whey protein powder. And then I added about 3/4 cup peanut butter morsels which made it really come together and sweet! I'll be making these again as soon as they are all eaten! -
WOW these are so good! Just what I was looking for! I used coconut oil instead of olive oil and they came out great -
What a great recipe! Such a nice consistency! I added hemp seeds too. :)
