CHOCOLATE-BANANA PROTEIN BARS
Commercial protein bars are often made with cheap protein blends, such as soy and hydrolyzed collagen. Many are low in fiber and need to be fortified in order to offer any vitamins and minerals at all. Making your own is easy, and is considerably less expensive than what you can buy in a store. Bars like these make excellent snacks and can also be used as a a part of a quick meal on-the-go.

Steps:
- Mix ingredients in a large bowl. Pour into non-stick cake pan. Bake at 300o F for 25 minutes or until firm. Let cool slightly before cutting.
- We have made these into 8 small bars, but you could easily make into 4 larger ones, with double the protein (e.g., 23 g protein per bar).
- If you don't want the fat replace the oil with unsweetened applesauce. It will taste just as good and still retain the moist but firm texture.

Tips:

- Chill the batter before baking. This will help the protein bars hold their shape better.
