Recipe Notes:
For non-dairy bars replce yogurt with unsweetened applsauce, canned pumpkin or mashed bananas. Or try Silken Tofu in the Protein Booster section. Add an extra pinch of salt if using pumpkin or silken tofu. The range of sugar allows you to make these bars sweeter or not so sweet according to what you want.
Protein Boosters:
You can make the main recipe with any of the following adjustments:]
