Princess Protein Bars
For the non-keto roommate princess.
My roommate sometimes gets sent off on various work excursions for a week or two at a time, which tend to utterly destroy his bodybuilder diet. He asked me to concoct something portable with a favorable complex carb/protein ratio, SO, I did this thing right here.
I call him princess and he calls me jenkki and ours is a beautiful symbiosis.
STEP 1: Dry mix:
3 dL/1.5 cup riisipuuro (Finnish rice porridge..? or oatmeal for yankees)
2 dL/1 cup protein powder (his is unflavored whey)
0.5 dL/0.25 cup vanilla sugar (another Finnish thing; sub white sugar + vanilla extract)
10 mL/2 tsp baking powder
Cinnamon to taste
**Do feel free to adjust the amount/type of sweetener as well, especially if you’re using a sweetened (and/or flavored) protein powder.
STEP 2: Preheat to 175C/350F, make REBELLION TEA and also sugar syrup. I used another 0.5 dL/0.25 cup brown sugar reduction to bind things a bit better (I had intended to use honey but forgot that we’ve been out of it for like 4 months). Beat in 2 eggs and let the batter rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
STEP 3: Spread into a pan lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle in some fresh or frozen fruit of your choosing. Get wild with other additions; nuts, dried coconut, bantha fodder, chocolate chips etc. Bake for 40-50 minutes and get ripped.
STEP 4: MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU ALL \m/
