Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup protein powder (I used vanilla)
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 cup almond or cashew butter
  • 1/3 maple syrup
  • 1-2 tbsp monk fruit or coconut sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp plant milk
  • Pinch of sea salt
Frosting
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1-2 tbsp protein powder
  • 1 tbsp plant milk, if needed

Instructions

  1. Combine all of the dough ingredients together until dough forms. Taste & adjust as needed. Depending on the protein you use, you may want to add more maple or need to add more plant milk, if needed to reach dough consistency.
  2. Press into the bottom of a lined loaf pan.
  3. To make the frosting, mix everything together until smooth. Add the plant milk, a little at a time, until frosting consistency. Spread over top of the bars.
  4. Place in the freezer to harden, cut into bars, & enjoy!
