Ingredients

Bar Base

  • 1 cup oat flour (oats blended to a flour)
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup thick Greek-style yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1/2 cup almond or your choice of milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract if using plain or unflavoured protein powder and/or yogurt 

Protein Frosting

  • 1/2 cup thick Greek-style yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon coconut flour
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1-2 drops natural red food colouring, beetroot juice or powder
  • Sprinkles

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.
