Quest Bar Protein Cookies
I’ve been a fan of Quest Bars for a little while now. They’re so good! I like to pack some for volleyball tournaments and hiking, but I also like to keep some in my desk for days when I don’t get a chance to eat lunch. Each bar provides me with at least 20g of protein, which I definitely need as an active person!
After work and yoga on Friday, I headed over to Target to pick up some Quest Bars. Did you know that they sell them at Target? I actually had no idea, but I’m glad they do! They have everything at Target, don’t they? That’s why I’m always getting in trouble when I go there! “Oh, I just need to pick up a pack of staples!” (Leaves store with a new desk, a new stapler, poster board, a swimsuit…)
Admittedly, finding the Quest Bars was a bit of a challenge for me. I went to the grocery section where you can find other bars, and I couldn’t find them! I eventually found them in the pharmacy section, which was a bit counterintuitive. They didn’t have all of the Quest Bar flavors, but they had a pretty good selection!
I picked up one box of Blueberry Muffin bars, and a box of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bars. I’d never tried either of these flavors, so thought I’d give ’em a whack!
I have seen a bunch of recipes on Pinterest where people actually cook their Quest Bars, and I thought, I gotta try that. And so I did! (See pinable recipe below.) The new recipe for Quest Bars includes Stevia, which I’m not personally a fan of, but once I baked them, it somehow cut down on the sweetness. I have no idea how that works, but it did!
Have you guys ever baked your Quest Bar? If you have, what did you turn it into?
