These easy bars are a healthy snack for any time. They are a great alternative to commercial energy bars.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup rolled oats, divided

1/4 cup sultana bran cereal

2 scoops vanilla protein powder

1/4 tsp bicarbonate soda

1 pinch of salt

4 large egg whites

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 Tbsp peanut butter, light

1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray 8x8 inch square pan with non-stick spray and lightly flour.

Blend 1/8 cup of rolled oats and cereal in a blender. Mix until powder-like. Add protein powder, cloves, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Blend until mixed.

In a separate bowl, mix egg whites and 1/8 cup rolled oats with hand mixer. Add vanilla, peanut butter, and applesauce. Mix well.

Add in the dry ingredients, mix well. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 15 minutes, until top is dry and sides pull away from pan. Cut into eight bars.

Variations:

There are many options for these bars. Try chocolate protein powder and omit the spices. Or add some cooked mashed pumpkin and some spices like cinamon or nutmeg. The possibilities are endless!
