Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Stir oats, flour, protein powder, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.

Step 3

Mix egg whites, applesauce, olive oil, and peanut butter together in another bowl. Add to the oat mixture and mix well. Fold in chocolate chips and sunflower seeds; batter will be quite thick. Spread into the prepared pan.
