Amazing Trail Mix Protein Bars loaded with pretzels and candy-coated chocolate, but sugar free! Healthy trail mix bars are baked in the oven, and great for a hike or meal-prep snack.
Mix-Ins:
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, almond butter powder, flour and baking soda.
In a large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients - yogurt, milk, peanut 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.
Add most mix-ins, leaving some for the top.
Pour into baking pan; Top with remaining mix-ins.
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.
Cut into 16 bars and serve!
