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.

    These are great! Pretty easy to make, and you won't find a commercial protein bar that beats this one on flavor, texture, nutrition, or price! My batter ended up being noticeably thinner than AB's (not sure why, because I used exactly the same ingredients and measured them by weight just like he does. But they turned out great anyway. They ended up with a really nice soft, moist, slightly chewy texture, and very tasty.

    I just made these with an antioxidant fruit mix, some dried plums, and some unsweetened coconut... It's delicious!! Even my picky sister likes them. It's almost like dessert, and at such low calories and such high protein, I don't feel guilt eating them!! Every Alton recipe is spot on delicious, and the hunt for soy protein powder (I used EAS Vanilla Soy Protein- works great and easy to find!

    The kids (2 and 5 years old love this one. We go through granola and cereal bars like crazy, so I thought this was worth a try. I'll definitely be making these again. The texture is like bread pudding. Not too peanut buttery.
