One day when I was craving chocolate, I threw together this protein bar. When my kids asked me to make it again when it was gone, I knew I had to share it!
Kids’ Protein Bar
1/2 cup milk or milk substitute (I used soy)
1/2 t vanilla
1/2 c honey
1/2 c applesauce (unsweetened and organic of possible)
1/2 cup of natural nut butter (I used peanut)
4 Tbs ground flax seed
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 cup oats (I used steel cut)
1 t cinnamon
4 Tbs almond flour
chocolate chips, sprinkle in a few (or more)
Grease pan with coconut oil. Mix ingredients and bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes. Enjoy!
*please use organic ingredients whenever possible.
