    Chocolate protein bars

    By Sarah on April 13, 2016 Homemade Protein Bars, Snacks

    Who doesn’t love chocolate ? Okay, some people don’t but most of us do! This protein bar provides an awesome protein hit but is still healthy and nutritious. In fact, I’d say it’s a better bar than almost all of the ones on sale in your supermarket. Easy to make and really tasty – this bar is hard to beat but not hard to eat!

    Ingredients – Makes twelve bars :

    1 cup oats

    ½ cup chocolate protein powder (available on Amazon.com)

    ¼ cup cocoa powder (organic certified cocoa powder at Amazon.com)

    1 cup dates, pitted and soaked for 30 minutes

    ½ cup + ¼ cup chopped pecans, divided

    ½ cup + ¼ cup shredded coconut, divided

    1 tsp vanilla extract

    ½ tsp salt

    water as needed (up to ¼ cup)

    2 tbsp cacao nibs or chocolate chips

    Directions:

    1) In a food processor grind up the oats until they are a fine flour. Add protein and cocoa powders and blend again until well combined.

    2) Drain and rinse the dates then add them to the food processor along with ½ cup of pecans, ½ cup of shredded coconut, vanilla, and salt. Blend again, adding a little water at a time, until a dough forms.

    3) Transfer dough to a bowl, stir in the remaining ¼ cup of pecans and coconut along with 2 tbsp cacao nibs or chocolate chips.

    4) Scrape dough onto a piece of parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Cover with another piece of parchment paper and roll the bars out to about ½ inch, shaping into a square as you roll.

    5) Place the bars in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, allowing them to firm up before cutting into 12 equal pieces. Sprinkle the remaining pecans over the top of your finished bars.

    6) Store in refrigerator for 5 days or a month in the freezer.
