How to Make Alton Brown S Protein Bars

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
3. Add the chopped dates and mix again until evenly distributed.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and vanilla extract.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, ensuring an even layer.
7. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
