Fun in the kitchen...

I've finally gotten my breakfast/snack bar recipe to a point that I'm happy with it. It is a no-bake one.. I've tried baking it but its worse that way. It chunks off a little bit but I can live with it. You'll notice that they are a little dark in color.. that's mostly because of the hemp fiber protein powder. When you open the jar it looks like a scoop of dirt & moss but luckily it has no spell. Be forewarned though, if you use it in shakes they will look like frothy mud. :)

I'm calling them my Protein Fiber Flax Peanutbutter Bars.
Here's the recipe:



Ingredients:

1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups All Bran (the bran buds kind, not the twigs)
1 cup Rice Crispies
1 cup oats
1/4 cup ground golden flax
1/4 cup Hemp Fiber Protein Powder (found it @ Wholefoods)
1/3 cup golden raisins
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

Put the brown sugar, butter, vanilla & peanut butter in a large plastic bowl and put them in the microwave for just over a minute so things melt. Remove the bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Microwave everything for another minute and a half and then press in a 13x9x2 pan greased with cooking spray. Refrigerate and cut into bars. Store in a plastic container in the fridge.



I have my shake recipe done as well but was just informed by my new Dr that I won't be drinking soy milk anymore and yogurt is out too. Sooo... I'm going to get some rice milk and try a few things and post that once I've confirmed it is still good within the new approved guidelines.
