Jamie Eason's Carrot Cake Protein Bars....Veganized

So, I have a confession. I love Jamie Eason. I want to have her babies. She is one of my fitness idols and she has created a series of healthy protein treats that are posted on bodybuilding.com. I took one of her recipes and I veganized it. Below my veganized version is a link to the video for the original version, so if you are not a vegan you can make these yummy treats and stare at this beautiful fitness goddess. I just love her!

Jamie Eason's Carrot Cake Protein Bars....Veganized!



1 cup oat floar
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (I used Ultimate Nutrition's Wheat Protein)
2 tsp cinnamon
1/ 2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp nutmeg
6 tsp Ener-G Egg Replacer
8 tbsp warm water
3/4 cup Stevia
2 containers of baby carrots
8 oz water (fill the empty jar up twice with water and add)

Combine the oat flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, allspice and nutmeg in one bowl. Mix thoroughly.

In another bowl, mix the egg replacer, warm water, Stevia, baby carrots. Once the baby food jars are empty, fill those up with water and add to this mixture (this is the additional 8 oz of water).

*I had to add more water because my vegan wheat protein is very doughy. I would start with just 4 oz and then after mixing the dry and wet ingredients check the consistency to see if more water is needed. It should be similar to cake batter.

Add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix....this batter is delicious.

Pour into a glass brownie dish and bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Baking time will also depend on the type of protein you use. I would check the bars at twenty minutes with a toothpick and then leave in additional time if needed.
