Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup liquid egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons stevia or preferred sweetener
- 2 tablespoons crushed walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the grated carrots, unsweetened applesauce, liquid egg whites, vanilla extract, and stevia. Mix until evenly incorporated.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms. If desired, fold in the crushed walnuts and raisins for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 8 equal portions.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
