Ingredients
Scale
For the protein bar:
- 3/4 cup creamy all natural almond butter* (just almonds)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/4 cup liquid sweetener
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (if your almond butter isn’t already salted)
- 2/3 cup unflavored, chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1-2 tablespoon flaxseeds (or chia seeds)
For the toppings:
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chunks from 85% dark chocolate bar (about 1.5 oz)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling (I use Maldon Salt)
- 2 tablespoons chopped roasted almonds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Heat almond butter, coconut oil, liquid sweetener, vanilla and salt in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 15-30 seconds or until the almond butter has melted. Mix together until well combined and smooth.
- Stir in protein powder until smooth, then fold in flaxseeds (or chia seeds), and shredded coconut. Place in a 8x4 inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper or divide the mixture evenly between 12 candy molds.
- Add dark chocolate chunks and coconut oil in a small microwavable bowl and heat in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir until all the chocolate has melted.
- Spread the chocolate over the tops of the bars, then sprinkle with sea salt, chopped almonds and shredded coconut.
- Place in fridge for 30 minutes-1 hour before removing from pan and cutting into 12 bars. Store bars in fridge tightly wrapped or in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
