Here is how you make Maple Spice Pumpkin Protein Bars:

Yield: 12 barsMethod:1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set chopped pecans aside. Pour egg whites into blender, followed by cereal. Let flakes sit in liquid for one or two minutes to soften, then blend for 30 seconds on medium.2. Add remaining ingredients (except pecans) and blend until batter is smooth. If mixture is too thick, add more egg whites. If mixture is too runny, add more protein powder.3. Pour into a non-stick or Pam-sprayed 8x8in (or slightly larger) baking pan or tin. Sprinkle chopped dates or pecans over the top, before placing in oven. Cook for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through the middle (21min is good for some ovens!!).
