Blondies


One would never guess that these delicious bars are packed with protein.  The perfect snack when your blood sugar drops in the afternoon or between meals.  My kids loves these.  (What better recommendation can you get?!)

Wet Ingredients:
4 eggs
4 medium bananas
½  c. applesauce
3 c. white beans (cooked)
2 c. honey
1 T. vanilla

Dry Ingredients:
8 c. white wheat flour
2 c. steel cut oats (soaked overnight)
1 T. baking soda
1 T. sea salt
1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped almonds
½ c. craisins (optional) 

Beat eggs, beans, and bananas and then add the rest of the wet ingredients.  Add dry ingredients and mix.  Combine chocolate chips and nuts last.  Spread dough in two greased cookie sheets.  Bake trays at the same time and switch racks half way through (12 minutes and 12 minutes).  Total baking time 24 minutes at 350 degrees.  Yield:  70 bars.

Note:  Measure the 2 cups of oats in the morning (as they will expand after they are soaked).
