makes 16
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of quick oats, ground (or you can use oat flour if you aren't in a oat-grinding mood)

- 6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
- 6 tbsp of unsweetened almond milk
- 3/4 cup egg whites
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated splenda
1) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2) Line a brownie pan with parchment paper (8X8/9X9 square pan)
3) Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
4) Pour into pan and bake in the middle rack for 15-20 minutes, when the centre is firm and some cracks form on top.
5) Take out of pan and let cool. Then it's icing time!

THE Icing

1) Mix all dry ingredients together and then add in the liquid.
2) Add as much liquid as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
3) Spread on your favourite baked good.

1 can evaporated milk
1 cup milk
1/2 cup Splenda granular
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 325. Place six custard cups in a baking dish. Whisk all the ingredients together (or whiz in the blender). Strain through a fine sieve, if desired. Fill custard cups, pour very ho****er into the baking dish and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. (May take longer depending on your altitude and weather for some odd reason!)
I've also made SO many various flavors by subbing 1/4 cup of the regular milk for 1/4 cup of a Torani or Davinci syrup. FABULOUS!!

Chocolate Granola Bars
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened natural peanut butter
2 tbsp agave syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons ground flax seed
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa nibs
1 scoop unflavoured whey protein isolate
2 tbsp chopped nuts
What to do:
1. Melt the butter, peanut butter and cocoa in a pot over medium to low heat, stirring constantly. Turn off the burner when melted. Or in a microwavable bowl for 2 minutes at 60% power level (this will depend on the microwave as well)
2. Pour in the cup of oats and the flax seed. Stir until combined.
3. Wait until it cools and stir in the coconut,protein powder and chopped nuts.
4. Pour into foil-lined 8 X 8 pan and stick in the fridge. (I used a glass pan sprayed with Pam).
5. Once cooled, flip out (the bars….not you) onto cutting board and cut to the size you like.
They’re now ready to eat.
