It’s easy to make Chocolate Protein Bars right at home in just 15 minutes!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup protein powder
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup almond butter (can sub peanut butter, cashew butter etc.)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tsp almond milk, as needed
- 4 oz 70% dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp refined coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix the almond flour, protein powder, cocoa powder and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Mix the almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
- Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and mix them together. (It’s easiest to start mixing with a spoon, and then switch to mixing with your hands!)
- If the dough feels a little dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of almond milk to the dough and continue to mix.
- Press the dough evenly into an 8×8 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl and pour on top of the bars. (make sure to move the pan around after adding the chocolate so the chocolate spreads out evenly.)
- Place in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours or overnight then cut into bars.
- Store in the fridge.
