Homemade protein bars are cheap, healthy and perfect for the active person on the go!

Ingredients

Dry Stuff:

4 ounces protein (I used vanilla soy, but go crazy. This is about 1 Cup.)
1/2 cup oat bran
1/4 cup wheat germ
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 Teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Batter:

12.5 ounces silken or soft tofu.
2 large eggs
2/3 Cup almond butter (you could use peanut butter to save some $)
1/2 Cup Orange Juice, or apple juice
2 3/4 ounces whole wheat flour (1/2 Cup)

Add-ins:

3 ounces golden raisins
3 ounces dried cherries
5 ounces dried cranberries
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (optional)

Directions

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Stir together add-in ingredients so they are ready.

2) Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.

3) Mix together wet ingredients by whisking tofu until it’s light and fluffy. Then add other wet ingredients. Add flour last.

4) Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in 1/3 batches at a time. YOu might need to switch to a fork to combine it all.

5) Stir in fruit and transfer batter to a 9×13 baking dish. To make for easy removal, you might to line the baking pan with parchment paper before adding the batter.

6) Bake the bars at 350 degrees F. for 35-40 minutes.

7) Cut the baked bars into 16 pieces. If you’re using chocolate wait for the bars to cool before drizzling on the bars.

Store in the fridge for 2 weeks!
