Indulge in a nostalgic treat with a protein-packed twist—Root Beer Float Protein Bars. These delicious bars combine the classic flavors of root beer and creamy frosting with a boost of protein to keep you fueled. Perfect for a post-workout snack or a fun dessert, they’re easy to make and enjoy.
1. Spray the trays of an 8-mini-loaf baking pan with fat-free cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the next seven ingredients: cake mix, root beer, root beer extract (if you have it), oil, egg whites, whole egg and protein powder.
3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. Evenly fill each of the eight trays with about half a cup of batter. If you don't have a cold root beer, chill in the freezer while the bars are baking.
5. Bake the bars at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 28-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into a bar comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
7. Get the cold, sugar free root beer and combine it with a packet of Dream Whip in a metal or glass bowl. Beat it with a mixer for 2-3 minutes until soft peaks form.
8. Use the Dream Whip frosting and put a generous amount on each of the bars. Refrigerate for 1 hour till the frosting has set and they're ready to serve.
You can store the extras in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you freeze them, you must let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight. You can't microwave them, or the frosting will melt away.
