Ingredients
- 4 ounces soy protein powder, approximately 1 cup
- 2 1/4 ounces oat bran, approximately 1/2 cup
- 2 3/4 ounces whole-wheat flour, approximately 1/2 cup
- 3/4-ounce wheat germ, approximately 1/4 cup
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 ounces raisins, approximately 1/2 cup
- 2 1/2 ounces dried cherries, approximately 1/2 cup
- 3 ounces dried blueberries, approximately 1/2 cup
- 2 1/2 ounces dried apricots, approximately 1/2 cup
- 1 (12.3-ounce) package soft silken tofu
- 1/2 cup unfiltered apple juice
- 4 ounces dark brown sugar, approximately 1/2 cup packed
- 2 large whole eggs, beaten
- 2/3 cup natural peanut butter
- Canola oil, for pan
Directions
Line the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and lightly coat with canola oil. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, oat bran, wheat flour, wheat germ, and salt. Set aside.
Coarsely chop the raisins, dried cherries, blueberries and apricots and place in a small bowl and set aside.
In a third mixing bowl, whisk the tofu until smooth. Add the apple juice, brown sugar, eggs, and peanut butter, 1 at a time, and whisk to combine after each addition. Add this to the protein powder mixture and stir well to combine. Fold in the dried fruit. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 205 degrees F. Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting into squares. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.

I made this recipe 6 times but it consistently needs 4x the juice! The recipe only calls for 1/2 cup but I've had to use 2 cups every time to get a reasonable consistency. Might be because I am using regular not silken tofu? Last batch was the best, used almond butter instead of peanut, added vanilla extract and cinnamon. YUM!

Made them 2x and both times a big hit. Someone mentioned not using vanilla protein with the peanut butter. I did and think they are great. I'll give plain protein a try - maybe they'll be even better. I cooked the 2nd batch a bit longer and they got nice and brown on top.

Absolutely loved these! I work in a gym, so this was a big hit when I brought them in for everyone to try. Only one thing I would like to mention... don't use vanilla flavored protein powder, use chocolate or plain. I didn't realize it, but vanilla and peanut butter are NOT friends.
I also had to substitute out the dried blueberries (I couldn't find any. I used dried cranberries instead, they worked just great.
