Tips:


If you find you want a moister bar, use 1/2 cup of natural applesauce.


Kitchen Tip for Lowfat Baking:


Did you know you can replace the oil in a recipe with an equal amount of applesauce? Applesauce will add the same moisture of fat but not the added calories and it won鈥檛 alter the flavor.





What You Need:


3 1/2 cups quick oats


1 1/2 cups powdered non-fat milk


4 scoops low carb chocolate or vanilla protein powder


1 cup sugar-free maple syrup (Cozy Cottage, Cary's or Howard's)


2 egg whites, beaten


1/4 cup orange juice


1 teaspoon vanilla


1/4 c. natural applesauce
