How to Make Alton Brown's Protein Bars
- 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.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, peanut butter, honey, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Add the chopped dates and mix again until evenly distributed.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan, ensuring an even layer.
- 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.
- 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.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
