Instructions
Bar Base
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 bowl combine all base ingredients in a food processor and processing until it forms a dough. If it seems a little dry add milk or water a tablespoon at a time or if too wet coconut flour or protein powder until it comes together.Be careful not to over process as its nice to have texture variance and different sized “bits” in your base crust.Transfer to the lined pan and spread out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.
Protein Frosting
In a bowl, mix all ingredients until smooth. Mixture should be thick but smooth and spreadable.Add milk if to thick, coconut flour if too thin. Spread on top of base and use back of spoon/spatula to smooth out.Sprinkle on sprinkles.Place in freezer 10-15 minutes to harden.Lift layers out of pan, place on cutting board and using a sharp knife, slice into 8 bars.Store up to 1 week in fridge or up to 3 months in freezer.
