Healthy Bean Bars Recipes

I found this recipe in the June edition of After 50 magazine. It is one of Chef Jim Rebholz recipes. I made a few easy changes to his original recipe, by using a can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed; and used canola oil; and mixed everything in my blender. This taste like a spice cake with raisins, and smells so good cooking. I will definitely make this again, and add nuts and toasted wheat germ to it.

• Ingredients

A protein bar with no refined carbs (except honey, which is ok for some people) and possibly no artificial sweeteners (depending on your whey powder). Most of the storebought ones are way too sweet, and this one is not that sweet but it does taste like real food! I use romano beans (Primo brand) because they are softer than most other kinds of beans, but other kinds of beans should be fine. You can use butter or margarine instead of the cocoa butter and canola oil.
