Cinnamon Raisin Banana Protein Bars
Cinnamon Raisin Banana Protein Bars
Serves: 6
Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was very busy getting myself back into my normal routine! It was nice to see the sun out though! However, today we are expected to get 3-5 inches of snow and rain! Fingers crossed that it sticks with rain and the snow stays far far away! 
Today’s recipe is being dedicated to my sister! Last week she asked me to make a protein bar that was moderate in carbs and had bananas, raisins and cinnamon. After a few failed attempts (they tasted great but just didn’t come out of the pan in 1 piece! haha) I finally got one that worked and tastes delicious!! It also includes a few of my favorites ingredients – Designer Whey and Mila! These bars are definitely one for the nutrition charts since they are loaded with healthy, clean ingredients! I hope you enjoy them!
Fit Ingredients

- 1 1/2 scoops (42g) Designer Whey White Chocolate protein powder (or protein of choice)

5. Combine your wet and dry ingredients.
6. Fold in your raisins.

These bars have a flavor punch that you just can’t beat!! Bananas with warm cinnamon and sweet raisins …yum! They are soft and chewy too, not hard! Wrap them in plastic wrap and store in a ziploc for the perfect grab and go snack!
