I don’t know where I got that other number.

Instead of using TVP, I used 1c crushed almonds. I added 1/2c raisins, and did not use any chocolate. I used non-milk. I considered the salt, vanilla and cinnamon negligible. I also used a square baking dish, so it was easier to cut out nine portions instead of eight. So my recipe had nine servings. Per serving, my bars have 231 calories, 16g fat, 11g protein and 41g carbs. Not a bad way to start the day. Thanks for the recipe!

Thanks.

Bob’s Red Mill is a great brand.

Thanks for commenting, nursechacha. :)

Thanks

I am not entirely certain what the texture of whey powder is like — TVP is sort of like…grape nuts cereal. Is that similar?

Hope the kids love ‘em! Thanks, lowcountryheather!

Or is the texture very different? I am looking very forward to making these, for me and my kids!!!

This way, I know just what I’m giving them without being too hippy about it. :)
