Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1/2 cup cashew butter (just cashews + salt)*
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup honey (use coconut palm syrup if vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup your favorite chocolate protein powder* (OR ½ cup vanilla protein powder + 2 tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder)
  • 2/3 cup rolled oats, gluten free, if desired
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • For the topping:
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips or 1 ounces 85% dark chocolate, dairy free if desired
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • Fancy sea salt, for sprinkling on top

Instruction

  • Heat cashew butter, coconut oil, honey and vanilla in a saucepan over a very low heat. 
  • Remove from heat and stir in protein powder until smooth, then fold in oats and chia seeds. Place in a 8x4 inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Add chocolate and coconut oil in a small saucepan and place over low heat until melted. Drizzle over the tops of the bars and tilt pan to cover completely (or a nice thick drizzle will do). Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Place in fridge for 1 hour before removing from pan and cutting into 10 squares. Store bars in fridge tightly wrapped or in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
