Ingredients
Bar Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup dates, soaked 30 minutes and drained
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/3 cup almond butter or cashew butter
- 1/4 cup coconut milk or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
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.Place all base bar ingredients in a food processor and process until mixture becomes a sticky dough. Be careful not to over process as its nice to have texture variance and different sized “bits” in your protein bars.Press mixture firmly into the prepared tin, smoothing the top.Roughly chop the extra blueberries and cashew nuts and scatter over the surface of the bars along with the extra coconut.Place in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up then carefully remove from the tin and cut into 10-12 bars.Store in fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 2 months.
