Ingredients
- 1/2 c quick oats
- 1/2 c whole wheat flour (measured correctly)
- 1/2 c unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 scoops (56g) chocolate protein powder (such as Designer Whey)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 c honey
- 1/4 c unsweetened applesauce
- 2 egg whites
- 10 tsp mini chocolate chips
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300°F, and coat an 8”-square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats and next 6 ingredients (through salt). In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, applesauce, and egg whites. Add in the flour mixture, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 300°F for 13-15 minutes. Cool completely to room temperature in the pan before slicing into 10 bars.
Note: If you don’t have quick oats, you can make your own! Measure ½ cup of old-fashioned oats, and pulse 5-8 times in a food processor.
