I made these bars for the first time almost a year ago but like my bad self I never wrote down the recipe and I completely forgot what I did. a couple weeks ago I tried to recreate these but messed up and that's how I ended up with protein almond bread. It wasn't quite as much of a disaster as I thought it would be.
Thank goodness the recipe came to me a couple days ago and I went to work!
Ingredients:
1/2 c almond butter
1/4 c honey
1/8 c or more almond milk
1 tsp almond extract
1 c Vanilla whey
1/2 c coconut flour
1/4 c almonds
1/4 c flax
Step 1:
In a large pot on the stove combine liquid ingredients, honey almond butter almond milk almond extract. Mix thoroughly.
Step 2:
Next add all dry ingredients, flour, protein, almonds and ground flax. Mix until its all incorporated. It should be gooey or crumbly but more like a cookie. If its too dry add a little more liquid of you choice. * remember a little goes a long way so incorporate liquid slowly, mix then repeat.
Step 3:
Press into an 8x8 pan and slice to the desired size. Pop them in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
In the meantime clean the kitchen, haha... *Note to self. Because I hate this part.
Step 4:
Next melt your desired dark chocolate in the microwave.
Lay your chilled bars on a pan or parchment paper and coat with chocolate. I just use a spatula to coat them lightly. But you can dunk them in
chocolate if you want. It all depends how much chocolate you want on
them.
* this so why they need to be perfectly firm and not gooey, SO they hold up.
Pop them in the fridge again, 10 mins or so. This helps the chocolate harden faster.
After 10 mins lay them out chocolate side down and coat again.
Because they are made from natural items that don't need refrigeration, you can store them on the counter but putting them in the refrigerator doesn't hurt either
Most of all enjoy them and Share!
