Ingredients
Base
- 1 ¾ cup oat flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cashew or almond butter
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup soy milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons cashew or almond butter
Instructions
- Line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Whisk together the oat flour, protein powder and salt.
- Whisk in all remaining ingredients aside from the chocolate chips, then use a rubber spatula to fold together. If it seems too dry, add in just a touch more milk until it mixes well (but not too much or they won't set!).
- Once a dough has formed, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Press into the baking pan in an even layer.
- Add the ingredients for the chocolate layer in a bowl and melt in 20 second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
- Add on top of the bars, then stick in the freezer to set for at least 2 hours.
- Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
For a lower sugar version, sub the maple syrup for a keto friendly maple syrup.
