INGREDIENTS

  • Chocolate Protein Bars
  • 1/2 c almond butter
  • 1/4 c maple syrup
  • 1/2 c oat flour
  • 1/2 c chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (optional*)
  • Chocolate Coating
  • 2 c dark chocolate chips**

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Chocolate Protein Bars
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Mix the almond butter, maple syrup, oat flour, protein powder, and cocoa powder together in a large bowl. The dough will be thick and slightly crumbly! That's ok.
  • Press the dough into the bottom of the loaf pan. I like thicker protein bars so I only filled about 3/4ths of the pan.
  • Place in the refrigerator and chill for one hour.
  • Slice into six squares.
  • Chocolate Coating
  • In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 15s intervals, pausing to stir each time.
  • Double Chocolate Protein Bars
  • Dip each of the sliced protein bars into the chocolate mixture, spooning the chocolate on top so it's evenly coated.
  • Place each bar on the baking sheet. Refrigerate for an hour until firm.

Notes

* I like to use Dutch processed black cocoa because it's extra-dark compared to regular cocoa powder.
** You can use sugar free chocolate chips if you'd like to cut down on the sugar content. I really like the dark chocolate chips by the brand Lily's.
