This looks easy to do!
I'll try it this weekend.
If it turns out good, I will make a double batch the second time and freeze some of them.

As heavenly as your average "legitimate" pastry treat, and strangely tastes more like pumpkin pie than carrot cake. Not complaining!

So I have two different whey powders. One has a huge scoop the other a small scoop. Comparing the two scoop to the one scoop seems equivalent. Does that mean I only use one scoop instead of two for the bigger one? Common sense tells me yes so that is what I did but my bars came out dense and wet despite a clean toothpick. Maybe from the water? Taste is good. Guess I'll play around with them :) Would like to try a banana version of these since I always end up with brown bananas.

My whole family fell in love with these bars. I made them and pre bagged them to put into lunches as snacks for everyone.

Okay, you can make your own baby food for this. Warning it might look off color a bit. Still tastes great though!

instead of 'baby food carrots', I make 8 oz of my own carrot puree. I chop up the carrots and put them in a put I put just enough water to cover the carrots. I boil them until they are soft. Then I put the carrots and remaining water in my vitamix and purree. Lovely

I'm assuming that the nutritional info listed above (10 gm protein) is for 1 square? Just a little confusing as it says it makes 16 squares, and that the serving size is 2 squares.
Thanks for any clarification,

I just posted a similar question....I asked if I could just cut into 8 squares, since serving size was 2 (cut into 16 squares). Nutritional info must be for 2/16th or 1/8th right?

I put mine in the oven for 30 mins and the middle isn't yet baked through. How long should I bake them for so that the entire center is cooked?

This looks great! If I'm ready this right, I can also just cut into 8 squares for a serving size right? (if cut into 16 pieces you get two)?

I did exactly as you did and cut into 8 squares since we can have 4 of the smaller (16) for one of our meals. Is this still Ok?

I purchased regular quick cooking oatmeal and put it in my food processor until it was ground. It won't be as fine as a normal white flour but works great. I make this all the time.

I used Arrowhead Mills Organic Oat Flour, but is not gluten free. Try to make it with Brown rice flour.
