I sorta made up this recipe (after reading a couple dozen recipes online) to use up some soy protein powder someone had given us. They make a nice alternative to buying protein bars.

I have used a few of your recipes & they all turn out sooo good! This one sounds awesome!!!!

could i use sugar instead of succanat?? Or even just omit it altogether?? ( I dont have a sweet tooth whatsoever)

These sound really great. Except I have not heard of soy protein powder before- is it necessary? Is there another substitute I could use?

 

[Tofu-N-Sprouts]

It's just there for extra protein and texture. Use dry powdered soymilk or try without, I think it should be fine...

And I use sugar instead of sucanet too, just was excited (when I posted this) to come up with a recipe that used it.

Just realised how old this thread is! I have been looking for a good recipe for muesli bars for a while, so might give these ones a shot!

Try the following alone or in combination -

Raisins, apples, cinnamon, blueberrys, strawberrys, maple syrup.

It's a very great addition.

This recipe looks great, and I'm dying to try it!

My only concern is all the ingredients required... it will probably have to wait until I get a job!

 

[karenlovessnow]

I was just about to ask if someone had a recipe for something like this...I'm going to give them a try!
