This may not be exactly what you are looking for in a "kids to go breakfast
bar" but it is a very healthy, high protein option that is very cost
effective and not terribly high calorie. If it isn't great for the kids,
perhaps some of the adults may be interested.

Alton Brown
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Yield: 24 (2-inch) squares
4 ounces soy protein powder, approximately 1 cup
2 1/4 ounces oat bran, approximately 1/2 cup
2 3/4 ounces whole-wheat flour, approximately 1/2 cup
3/4-ounce wheat germ, approximately 1/4 cup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ounces raisins, approximately 1/2 cup
2 1/2 ounces dried cherries, approximately 1/2 cup
3 ounces dried blueberries, approximately 1/2 cup
2 1/2 ounces dried apricots, approximately 1/2 cup
1 (12.3-ounce) package soft silken tofu
1/2 cup unfiltered apple juice
4 ounces dark brown sugar, approximately 1/2 cup packed
2 large whole eggs, beaten
2/3 cup natural peanut butter
Canola oil, for pan
Line the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish with parchment paper and
lightly coat with canola oil. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In
a large mixing bowl, combine the protein powder, oat bran, wheat flour, wheat
germ, and salt. Set aside. Coarsely chop the raisins, dried cherries,
blueberries and apricots and place in a small bowl and set aside. In a third
mixing bowl, whisk the tofu until smooth. Add the apple juice, brown sugar,
eggs, and peanut butter, 1 at a time, and whisk to combine after each
addition. Add this to the protein powder mixture and stir well to combine.
Fold in the dried fruit. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake in
the oven for 35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 205 degrees
F. Remove from the oven and cool completely before cutting into squares. Cut
into squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
