Banana Oat Protein Bars

The flavor will vary, depending on the flavor of protein powder used. Feel free to make any changes, as this recipe is basic and lends nicely to improvisation.

Makes 16 squares

2 cups old fashioned oats

4 scoops protein powder (have only tried with whey and casein)

¼-cup currants

¼-cup raisins

½ cup shredded coconut

2 ripe, mashed bananas (about ½-cup)

1 Tbsp coconut oil (melted)

6 egg whites

¼- ½-cup water (depends on consistency)

2 Tbsp sugar free flavored syrup of your choice (I like caramel)

Mix wet and dry ingredients separately. Incorporate wet into dry, ensuring all protein powder and oats are covered well. Pour (or rather dump via spoon) into greased pan (I use an 8”x8” square) and bake in 350F oven for 30 minutes, or until edges turn brown. Let cool and cut into squares.
