Strawberry Rhubarb Bars

Crust:
2 packets of Ideal Protein Maple Oatmeal
1 egg white
dash of salt
1 teas cinnamon
1/2 teas Stevia or Splenda
1 ½ Tablespoon olive oil

Mix ingredients of crust and press into a 8x8 pan that has been previously sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 7-10 mins. Let Cool.

Middle Layer:
1 ½ Cups of rhubarb (Chopped)
3 Tablespoons Walden Farms Strawberry (or Raspberry) Fruit Spread
1 ½ Cups of water
In a sauce pan, mix all middle layer ingredients over medium-high heat on the stove top. Stir constantly until rhubarb has boiled down and mixture is smooth(may use a potato masher to help mash up the rhubarb in the pan). Remove from heat and let cool.

Topping:
2 Packets Ideal Protein Strawberry Pudding
6oz of unsweetened almond milk

Mix both ingredients for the topping in the food processor until thick.
Once crust and middle layer are cooled, spread ¾ of the middle layer over crust, then spread topping over middle layer. Drizzle remaining middle layer mixture over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least an hour, then ENJOY!

*I keep a pan of these in my fridge so that I can have one here or there when I am craving something sweet and they do just the trick!
