Okara bars!

As I was googling for ways to use Okara besides cow food, I came across this post for protein bars which inspired me to make my own!

So, blueberry chocolate chip Okara Bars!

Ingredients
1 cup okara
1 cup oats
1 cup flax meal
1 cup rye flour (or another kind)
2 bananas (or applesauce)
1/2 c splenda (or honey, sugar, etc)
3/4 c peanut butter (or any nut butter)
1/4 t baking soda mixed with 1/4 c water
1/2 c dried blueberries
1/2 c chocolate chips

Directions
Preheat to 350 F
Cream peanut butter, bananas and splenda together.
Add okara, oats, flax, and flour and mix well.
Add the baking soda/water mixture and stir well.
Mix in mix-ins. Knead together.
Form a log on a cookie sheet, and slice into 1/2 inch slices.
Place on the cookie sheet, and bake for 15 minutes. Flip once during baking.

Makes about 18.

Notes:
Future additions: protein powder. Almond extract?
These are tasty, though, and only 170 calories. Lots of nutrients, like omega-3s and fiber. It'd be interesting to use sweet potato instead of bananas or something, to make it more nutritious.
