Hint on making bars

[laxcdn]

I am looking at making some home made protien bars. I want to use canned pumpkin, and my cookies and cream whey. I was thinking about trying John's protien bars, but using this stuff for subs.

[RacerBill]

Sounds pretty good to me. Let us know how it turns out.

I will try and get to it tonight or tomorrow.

I love any recipe with pumpkin in it, so be sure to share if it comes out good.

I agree. Pumpkin Rules. I have a pumpkin shake and pumpkin protein pancake recipes that are awesome.

I do pumpkin shakes all the time.

Canned pumpkin and protein powder makes a tasty pudding, too.

Pumpkin, eggs/whites, oats/flax/none, splenda, cinnamon & sf maple syrup -- awesome pancakes!

yep.

Some artificial sweetener and maybe some cinnamon or a shake of "pumpkin pie spice," too.

Chocolate and vanilla are both good.

Just had me some pumpkin cake for PWO...love it.

Yes! Pumpkin! I had some pumpkin leftover in the fridge and made individual pumpkin cheesecakes tonight. I rarely measure but the recipe had;

-Canned pumpkin (1 cup or so)
-2 eggs
-Fat free cream cheese (8oz)
-Nutmeg
-Cinnamon
-Vanilla extract

Mixed it all together, put it in baking cups in a muffin pan and baked for about 25 minutes at 400C. Damn they're tasty.

I think this thread should be renamed "ode to pumpkin"

Man I tried to make the the trail bars on one of the podcasts that I watched. I went out and bought all the ingredients and mixed everything up and the bars turned our horrible. They were all runny and oily and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. About a week later it hit me that I used fresh berries instead of dried berries....but I haven't attempted to remake them yet.

Sorry to hear they didn't work for you - those fresh berries must have made a real mess

Definitely give them a try with dried cranberries though - good stuff!

[Johnka]

These pumpkin bars sound great - good idea!

Not too portable, but they probably tasted good. Maybe heated up. Under a couple of scoops of ice cream...

Sorry, been really busy. I will go through my GN book tonight and see about making them. I should have an hour or so.
