APPLE CINNAMON PROTEIN BARS
These lovelies are just that - totally sweet with a little piece of fall... The crisp air, the smell of campfires, leaves scattered on the ground, and the smell of caramel apples. These are totally scrumptious and won't mess with your diet at all. Take a look at the recipe and the macros - they are divine.
THINGS TO NOTE:
Does it matter if I use a glass pan? Can I use a non-stick pan? YES! It does matter! For some reason, you get a much more cake-like consistency if you use a glass pan - trust us!
Store these in the refrigerator or freezer since they do not have preservatives and will spoil if left out.

Kendra says
What size baking pan for this? It only says a glass baking pan.....
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Kendra, We use an 8X8 Pyrex glass dish for this recipe. I'll update that information, thanks for letting me know.
Kendra says
Thanks! While making the recipe tonight, I also came across the problem that there is 4 oz water listed in the ingredients, but not mentioned to add in to the recipe. I looked up the original recipe and didn’t see the water. Hopefully it turns out okay without it!
Whitney Carlson says
This recipe must have not transferred over correctly when we moved from one platform to the other. I'm so sorry! I've actually made these protein bars without that extra liquid and they were fine. I hope they were for you too!
