I was struggling to find some of my muffin and donut pans tonight after we cleaned things out around the kitchen. What I did find was the protein/energy bar pan that my mom bought me a while ago. So, I opted to make some cinnamon roll baked protein bars.
Typically, things always taste better once they are finished and baked. When I tasted the batter and it already tasted delicious, I knew these would be amazing. I wasn’t really sure how the texture would come out because I have never really used the protein bar mold before. But, they came out with a dense cake texture that is awesome.
My brothers girlfriend loved these. She said they tasted like a cinnamon roll, so that it obviously where the name came from. The cinnamon flavor was enhanced by the snickerdoodle PES protein powder that I used. You could also use cinnamon protein, or even vanilla. I’m sure they will be delicious no matter what!
