Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1 cup oat flour (rolled oats blended to a flour)
2 scoops vanilla or chocolate protein powder
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup milk of choice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 drops natural red food colouring or 1-2 teaspoons beetroot powder or juice

Healthy Protein Frosting

3/4 cup cream cheese, softened (leave at room temperature for an hour or two or give it a burst in the microwave for 10 seconds).
3/4 cup thick Greek-style yogurt or blended cottage cheese
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (to taste)
1 teaspoons vanilla extract

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 bowl, mix almond flour, oat flour, protein powder and cocoa powder.
Add honey, melted oil, milk, vanilla, and red colouring. Mix until a thick dough forms.
Press the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top.

Healthy Protein Frosting

In another bowl, whisk together all frosting ingredients until smooth and creamy.
Spread frosting evenly over the base.
Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until fully set.
Slice into 8-10 bars or more smaller squares.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
