- 1 Tbsp sugar-free butterscotch jello pudding mix (14g)*
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1.25 cup egg whites (300g)

- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and continue mixing until all ingredients are mixed well.
- Pour batter into the dish, and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sweetener.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Let cool before slicing and enjoy!
Notes
*I used Jell-O Butterscotch sugar-free pudding mix. 14g was half the pack. You could use another flavor if needed, the butterscotch just brings about the best flavor in my opinion! This is the secret ingredient to these cake bars that helps it taste less eggy. I unfortunately have not found a good sub for this ingredient at this time!
To make dairy-free: use a plant based protein powder and dairy-free pudding mix like Simply Delish!
