No Bake Coconut Protein Bars

No Bake Coconut Protein Bars

Adapted from BodyBuilding.com

Ingredients

Makes 12 bars

1 cup coconut flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)

4 scoops vanilla protein powder (I used Sunwarrior)

¼ cup almond butter (make your own almond butter with this recipe)

½ cup to 1 cup milk of your choice (I used almond)

A handful of dark chocolate chips

Directions

Line a small baking dish with parchment paper and grease it. Set aside.

In a large bowl sift coconut flour. Add protein powder and mix well. Add almond butter and mix until combined.

Start adding milk ¼ cup at a time until a very thick dough is formed. The amount of milk needed depends on the quality of coconut flour and protein powder used. Use your own judgment and stop adding liquid as soon as the dough holds together and you can knead it.

Transfer dough to the lined baking dish and press it firmly into the dish in an even layer (I used the bottom of a measuring cup to help press the mixture down into the pan.)

Dot with chocolate chips and freeze for at least 30 minutes. Slice into bars, transfer to an airtight container, and keep refrigerated.
