Ingredients

• 1 Cup Oat Flour *see notes below
• 2 Scoops Natural Protein Powder (plain whey works great) I used vanilla whey
• ½ Squeezed Lemon (pulp and all)
• Zest of ½ a Lemon
• ¼ Cup Stevia
• ½ Tsp Baking Soda
• ¼ Tsp Sea Salt
• 4 Egg Whites
• ½ Cup Water ( I used unsweetened Almond milk)
• 1 Cup Pureed Strawberries *see notes below
• ½ Cup Plain Non Fat Greek Yogurt
• 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix all dry ingredients together. Then mix in all wet ingredients. Stir until smooth and blended.
Lightly spray muffin tin or 8x8 baking dish with extra virgin olive oil.
Place batter evenly in muffin tins/dish.
Bake for 30 minutes (check them at the 20 minute mark and keep an eye on them for the last 10 minutes).
Remove from the oven, gently remove them from the tin/dish and place on a cooling rack. These are very moist and fragile until they cool.
Once they cool they are firm and yummy! Place in a sealed container.

Makes 12 protein bars/muffins.
