Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Mix the almond flour, protein powder, rice crisps and salt together in a large bowl.
Mix the peanut butter, maple syurp and vanilla together then pour into the bowl and mix until everything is combined. If the mixture feels a bit dry, add 2-3 tsp of almond milk. (Don’t add too much!)
Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper then add the dough to the pan, pressing down evenly. Place in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate topping.
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together then pour ontop of the bars. Place in the fridge for 2 hours to set.

Notes

Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for 2 weeks or in the freezer for 2 months.

Runny peanut butter works best in this recipe to bind everything together. If you find your dough is too dry to press into the pan, add a couple of teaspoons of almond milk and mix.

If your dough is dry, add a touch of almond milk. Not too much, just a couple of teaspoons. This will help soften the dough and make it stick together.
