Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 scoop Protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
- 1 cup Peanut butter (unsweetened, natural)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. Mix until well blended.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter and coconut oil together in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until smooth and liquid. Stir to combine.
Add the sugar-free maple syrup and vanilla extract to the melted peanut butter mixture. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it holds together well.
Fold in the optional sugar-free dark chocolate chips, if using.
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan using your hands or a spatula.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until the bars are firm and set.
Once set, remove from the refrigerator and lift the mixture out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 8 rectangular bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
