Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour (finely ground)
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (high-quality brand)
- 1/4 cup almond butter (all-natural, no added sugars)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (pure grade A)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure, not imitation)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (fine)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and sea salt until uniform and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, stir the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until completely smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold until a cohesive dough forms.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment and press the dough evenly into the dish.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm throughout.
- Lift the slab from the pan and cut into 8 equal bars.
Notes
If you need lower sugar, reduce the maple syrup slightly and add a splash more almond butter. For higher fiber, replace up to 1/4 cup almond flour with oat flour.
