Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1/3 cup peanut or almond butter (smooth & unsalted)
  • 1/2 cup any milk (I use almond milk)
  • 1 1/2 cups vanilla plant based protein powder
  • 1/3 cup almond meal or almond flour
  • 2 tbsp chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life brand)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 3 tbsp almonds (coarsely chopped)

Instruction

  • In a medium bowl, add coconut oil, peanut butter and milk. Microwave in 30 seconds intervals until melted, stirring in between. Then whisk until well mixed.
  • Add protein powder and almond meal, stir until combined. It will take a few minutes. Dough will be crumbly, that's fine.
  • Line 8" x 8" baking dish with unbleached parchment paper and fill with prepared dough. Flatten with your hands and then level with spatula, pressing dough into the dish all the time.
  • Combine chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds or until melted, then stir well. Pour over the bars and tilt the dish until all bars are coated evenly with chocolate.
  • Toast almonds in a small skillet on low-medium heat until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Stir frequently and watch closely not to burn. Sprinkle on top of chocolate.
  • Freeze bars for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour. Remove from the dish by holding onto the flaps of parchment paper and place on a cutting board. Cut into 12 bars and enjoy chilled.
