Cosmic Blondie Protein Bars with a high protein base, protein frosting and candy coated chocolate bits are out of this world! Healthy, low sugar and low fat snack bars even use cosmic blondie flavor cashew butter.
Frosting:
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease or line an 8” x 8” baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk vanilla protein powder(s), unflavored protein powder, cashew butter powder, flour, coconut flour and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients - yogurt, applesauce, milk, cashew butter, brown sugar and vanilla.
Add dry mix to wet, whisk lightly for 7-8s and then gently fold with spatula until just combined.
DO NOT OVER-MIX or protein powder will make the bars gummy.
Pour into baking pan; Bake for about 25-30 minutes.
Top should be set and toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly dry - just a bit moist (will cook in pan as cooling).
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
Frosting:
Let bars cool completely.
