Ingredients for Cardamom Pistacio Protein Bars
These cardamom pistacio protein bars are made with a few healthy ingredients, have no sugar and are gluten free too. An overall great pistachio protein dessert!
- Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
- Vanilla Protein Powder needed for high protein bars and also replaces most of the ‘sugar’.
- I used Vanilla protein powder from HTLT Supps since it’s a whey-caesin and works best for baking.
- Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly lower carb high protein recipe. I used a whey-caesin blend from Quest Nutrition.
- 1:1 Zero Calorie Brown Sugar Substitute – I use Lakanto, to keep this recipe sugar free; (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here too.
- Non-fat Greek Yogurt
- Unsweetened Applesauce
- Unsweetened Almond Milk
- A bit of Vanilla Extract
- An Egg
And then for the cardamom pistachio flavor on these baked protein bars:
- Ground Cardamom
- Chopped Pistachios
