Servings: 6 protein bars
Ingredients
- 70 grams (¾ cup) protein powder see notes*
- 30 grams (⅓ cup) almond flour or oat flour
- 85 grams (⅓ cup) peanut butter or almond butter, cashew butter
- 60 grams (¼ cup) maple syrup or honey
- 1/8 tsp salt skip if using salted peanut butter
- 35 grams (3 tbsp) chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl stir all ingredients together to form a cookie dough.
- Line a 15 x 15 cm (6 x 6 in) pan with parchment paper or grease with little oil so that the protein bars do not stick to the pan. Transfer protein dough to the prepared pan, smooth it out and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Once the dough has set, cut into bars.
- After it has set, cut into bars. Keep stored in the fridge for a maximum of 4 days.
Notes
- Use whey, casein or vegan protein powder of choice. If you utilize vegan protein powder you may need to adjust the dough with more peanut butter or maple syrup. Add more of one of the two if the protein dough is too dry.
- Use unflavored, vanilla, peanut butter or cookie dough flavored protein powder.
- Use gluten-free protein powder if necessary.
