Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup whey or casein protein powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • For the Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered erythritol, 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, 2-4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, greasing it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool for 10-15 minutes before lifting out to cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Whisk the glaze ingredients until smooth and free of lumps, adjusting the almond milk for desired consistency.
  8. Once the bars are cool, pour the glaze over them and allow it to set for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate for 5-7 days, or freeze for 2-3 months.
