Oatmeal Bars

Awesome way to eat oats and load up on carbs. They are perfect for an on the go breakfast or a snack in between meals, they will def fill you up! The best thing about this is you can switch up the fruits/nuts. etc to you liking and it will still turn out great!
I slice these up and pack them for my husband to bring to work :)


Ingredients


2 cups oats ( i used rolled old fashioned oats)
3 egg whites
1 3/4 cups unsweetened almond milk or skim milk
2 ripe mashed bananas
2 scoops protein powder (optional)
1/4 cup truvia (or your sweetener of choice)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup ground flax seed
1/4 cup walnuts or pecans
cinnamon


Preheat oven to 375 and spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Combine all ingredients EXCEPT for nuts in a bowl and mix well. Top with nuts and bake for about 30-45 min depending on the size of the pan you use. Let cool for about an hour and store in the fridge. Heat before eating :)
