Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup dried fruit of choice
3/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 cup whey protein powder (or another plant-based protein powder)
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup

2 cups coconut milk yogurt (or your dairy-free yogurt of choice)
3 ounces Baileys® Almande

- Slice into 9 individual bars.
For the Funfetti Topping:
- Take 2 tablespoons coconut flakes and add 1 teaspoon natural food coloring for each color.
- Mix together and evenly place on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 170ºF for 1 hour or until dried.
- Take 2 cups coconut yogurt and evenly cover the top of protein bars. Sprinkle with colored dried coconut flakes.
- Freeze for 30 minutes.
