Very Berry Blondie Bars

I love alliteration almost as much as I love these very berry blondie bars…they are soft, sweet, sour, and everything you could ever need in a secretly healthy treat with a whopping 12 grams of protein per serving. A berry delicious miracle! They are also gluten free and can be made vegan/dairy free if you substitute vegan yogurt and plant-based milk. I just want everyone in the world to try this recipe because it is absolutely phenomenal!

I love them berry much.

Soft, moist berry blondie bars great for breakfast or dessert (or both)

If not gluten free, use any kind of Kodiak Cakes or just-add water flapjack mix! You can also use your preferred whey protein flavor/brand. If vegan, use plant-based milk and yogurt. Can sub Madhava for regular sugar.

Ingredients

*60 grams (~2 scoops) Quest vanilla milkshake protein powder
*106 grams (1 cup) Kodiak Cakes gluten free flapjack mix
*48 g (1/4 cup) Madhava allulose sweetener
*1 tsp baking powder
*1 tsp vanilla

*60 mL (1/4 cup) sugar free syrup
*1/3 cup fat free or skim milk

*70 grams (1/2 cup) frozen raspberries

For the glaze
*15 grams Lakanto powdered monkfruit
*15 grams Quest vanilla milkshake protein powder
*2 TBS water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease an 8×8 baking pan.
  2. 2.In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla, yogurt, syrup, milk, and cashew butter until smooth.
  3. Add in the protein powder, Kodiak Cakes mix, allulose, and baking powder, whisking just until everything comes together.
  4. Pour into prepared pan.
  5. Fold in most of the raspberries and blueberries, saving a few to put on top of the batter.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth.
  7. Add remaining berries on top.
  8. Bake for 28-32 minutes, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  9. Let your bars cool on a cooling rack in the pan until room temperature.
  10. Mix together the protein powder, monkfruit, and water until smooth; you want a drippy consistency, so add more water if needed.

  12. Slice and enjoy! Keep leftovers in the fridge. These are great reheated for 15 seconds in the microwave.
