Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- honey or maple syrup
- Flaky salt, for topping - optional
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. Or use a silicon bar mold.Add peanut butter, almond flour, protein powder and honey to a medium bowl. Mix until a dough forms. It will get crumbly at first but will come together and have a consistency like cookie dough. Use your hands if needed. If the mixture seems too think add a little liquid (water or milk), a tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. Â Add about a scant1/4 cup of the chocolate chips and carefully mix to combine. Be careful not to overmix as the dough will become crumbly.Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Top with remaining chocolate chips, pressing them into the dough, and sprinkle with optional sea salt if desired.Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up then cut into 8 equal-sized bars to serve.Store in the fridge for up to a week or freezer for up to 3 months.
