Step by Step Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 baking tin with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine oats, zero cal sweetener, flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and ground almonds (30g).

In a large bowl stir together mashed bananas, whole egg, egg whites, almond extract, and almond milk. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and combine

In a small bowl, mix almond butter, ground almonds (15g), and maple syrup. Add small splashes of water until smooth and spreadable.

Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread evenly. Swirl the almond butter mixture over the top. Sprinkle with flaked almonds.

Bake for 22-26 minutes, until just set- do not over bake!

Cool completely in the pan before slicing into 6 bars. Dust lightly with zero calorie icing sugar if desired.

Recipe Notes and Modifications:

I recommend the brand Pescience Select one for protein powder, for this recipe use the Vanilla Gourmet flavour!
Warm slightly in the microwave before eating for that fresh-baked croissant feel — pairs perfectly with a coffee or latte.
Slice the bars, wrap them individually in parchment paper, and store in an airtight container or freezer bag. Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months — they thaw beautifully overnight or in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
