Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2-3 tablespoons almond milk (or any milk as needed)
  • 2 tablespoons natural sprinkles

Optional Frosting Layer

  • 1/4 cup Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • Extra sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  • Line a 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting.
    In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour and protein powder.
    Add almond butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until a thick dough forms.
    Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time if needed to bring the mixture together.
    Fold through sprinkles gently.
    Press the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
    If adding frosting, mix yoghurt, protein powder and maple syrup until smooth. Spread evenly over the bars and top with extra sprinkles.
    Chill in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours (or freeze for 30–45 minutes) until firm.
    Slice into 8-10 bars or more smaller squares and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
