No Bake Coconut Protein Bars

Step 1

Combine almond butter, protein powder, maple syrup, coconut flour, shredded coconut, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Mix together until dough forms. (If your dough isn’t sticky enough, add an extra 2 tbsp maple syrup. The amount needed may vary depending on the brand of almond butter and protein powder.)

Step 2

Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Firmly press the dough across the bottom of the dish.

Step 3

Combine chocolate chips and coconut oil in a bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between, until the chocolate is melted. Pour melted chocolate over the dough and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle shredded coconut on top.

Step 4

Chill in the freezer for 5 minutes or until the chocolate sets. Gently slice into 8-12 bars, depending on your preferred size. Enjoy!
