Healthy Homemade Protein Bars – Choc Peanut Butter Flavour :)

I love making my own healthy homemade protein bars – they taste SO much better than the processed kind and are much healthier for you. These are chocolate peanut butter flavour cuz why would you want anything else! ;)

Ingredients (base)

• 2 cups almond meal / gluten free oat flour
• 2 scoops chocolate protein powder (can use vegan)
• 4 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons PB2 powder (can omit from recipe)
• ¼ cup almond milk
• 3-4 tbsp honey or sweetener
• ¼ cup dark choc chips
• Pinch of salt

Ingredients (topping)

• 1/2 cup dark choc chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

Note: you could make a healthier chocolate topping with cacao powder, coconut oil and a sweetener, but I was feeling naughty :)

Method

1. Blend up all the base ingredients (except choc chips) in a food processor, or you could use a hand blender. If you don’t have oat flour, just blend 2 cups of oats in the blender and it will turn into oat flour :)
2. Stir through choc chips.
3. Press into the base of a lined caked tin.
4. Melt choc chips and coconut oil in microwave for approximately 1 minute.
5. Stir thoroughly and then pour over base.
6. Place in freezer to set for 2 hours.

I hope you enjoy them! xx
