In response to adding protein without affecting taste too much, try adding some wheat germ to the dry ingredients. It has 26.6 grams of protein in 1 cup, and is also high in several other minerals and nutrients. You might want to start with 1/4 to 1/2 cup. I add wheat germ to many unexpected things---meat loaf, cookies, also bread dough. You really don't taste it, much, but it does have a bit of a nutty flavor. I would think it would be great in granola bars. The protein powder would probably work, too. Good luck!
