Chocolate Almond Protein Bars
From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR Fitness
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
5 ounces vanilla protein powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Directions
- Prepare an 8-by-8-inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper or cooking spray.
- Measure out 1/4 cup almonds, chop, and set aside for the topping.
- In a food processor, pour in the remaining 3/4 cup almonds and the salt. Process until you have almond butter, or for several minutes.
- Add the oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and maple syrup, and process until smooth.
- Press the mixture into the pan using the back of a spoon. Top with the chopped almonds, pressing those into the bars.
- Place the chocolate chips in a small glass bowl, and microwave until melted. Drizzle the chocolate over the bars, and allow to set in the fridge for 20 minutes before cutting.
- Store the uneaten bars in an airtight container in the fridge.
