Healthy Smile Cookies/ Protein Bars

The post Healthy Smile Cookies/ Protein Bars appeared first on Healthy Living Revelations.

One thing I’m trying to stop doing is spending so much money on protein bars or on the go bars.   Since they’re sometimes almost 3 dollars a bar, they just don’t fit into my weekly budget.

I am going to be doing a lot of experimenting with different protein bar, granola bar, and muffin recipes soon to see what works best for me.

I started out this project with these.

Honestly, they are pretty much identical to banana bread.

I am definitely going to be making them again.

They’re also extremely easy to make!

1. 1 cup old fashioned oats

2. 1 cup oat flour (blend another cup of oats)

3. 1/3 cup protein powder

4. 2 mashed ripe bananas

5. 1 1/2 tbsp honey

6. 2 tbsp almond butter (or any other nut butter)

7. 1/4 tsp salt

8. 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

9. 3 egg whites

10. 1/2 cup almond milk (or any other milk of your choice)

11. 1/2 tsp cinnamon

12. 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Set your oven to 350F.

Start off by blending together your oats, oat flour and protein powder.  I just did this in my vitamix

In a separate bowl, add your other ingredients

Mash together

Then, add those to your vitamix, and blend so the mixture is relatively smooth

Pour into a prepared muffin pan, muffin top pan, cake pan, or whatever other type of pan you’d like to use.

Add your chocolate chips (smiles are optional )

Bake for 10 minutes or until done.

I don’t know about you, but I have a very difficult time not feeling happy when looking at these.

After all, healthy food is happy food!
