Description:
I was given this recipe by a dietician in my quest to eat more healthy snacks at work. Don't let the words "Protein Bar" or the tofu in it scare you off. It is actually pretty delicious. It is reminiscent of an oatmeal muffin, but much much more satisfying and surprisingly delicious!
Ingredients:
2 cups granola cereal
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup non fat yogurt
2/3 cup low fat silken tofu
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 egg
1 egg white
1/4 cup brown sugar (do not pack)
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 375F. Line a glass 8x8" square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine granola, flour, cranberries and raisins.
In a second bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool.
Loosen the bars from the edge of the pan and slice the entire square on a cutting board. Cut into 6 equal long thin strips and then cut in half to make 12 bars.
Store in an air tight container for up to 2 days or wrap individually and freeze.
