Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cups protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 0.25 cups honey or maple syrup
- 0.25 cups coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup pitted dates
- 0.5 cups peanut butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 1 pinch sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, and cocoa powder. Mix well.
Add honey or maple syrup and melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish. Use your hands or a flat object to smooth it out.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool to room temperature.
In a food processor, blend the pitted dates and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
Spread the date and peanut butter mixture over the cooled base, making sure it's evenly distributed.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with almond milk in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for extra flavor.
Refrigerate the slice for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate has set completely.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Keep any leftovers refrigerated.
