PROTEIN BARS... (low-calorie) without cream, without butter, is it possible???

I'm very keen on trying to make protein bars - not because it saves me
money (I buy them on eBay bulk for 25 cents a piece!!), but because I'm
very picky about the ingredients and ratios, etc. I see a lot of
recipes online for protein bars you can make yourself, but I can't seem
to find any recipes that don't include at least one of these
ingredients, all of which I'd like to avoid, if possible.

1. oatmeal
2. peanut butter (or any nut butter)
3. cream
4. butter

From experience, I know that these foods do not make me feel full and I
will gain weight, either from the foods themselves, or just from not
being full...

Ingredients I'm happy to use are whey protein powder, egg whites, any
vegetables (I'm curious if anyone has tried this! Maybe blended
zuchhini or cooked, smushed cauliflower, baked?), psyllium... I know
this is spartan but hey, it'll make me feel a lot better about what I'm
eating. I just thank God for Splenda...

I'd love to hear about any tips on baking or cooking low-carb, how you
guys substitute some of these foods (liek cream or butter) that you
would rather not use and any experiences, good or bad!, that y'all have
had with low-carb experimenting.

Thanks!
