Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there's some overhang to lift the bars out easily once set.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, and chia seeds. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, coconut oil, and almond milk. Stir occasionally until the coconut oil is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are distributed throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly with your hands or the back of a spatula to ensure it sets properly.
Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow the bars to firm up for at least 2 hours or until set.
Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the block out of the dish. Cut into 12 bars using a sharp knife.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
