What are we cooking today?
These Vanilla and Almond Protein Bars are the perfect mid meal snack.
Getting started
- In a bowl, mix the almond flour with fine coconut flour and whey protein powder (vanilla or plain work well).
Pour in the coconut milk (or cream) and add pure vanilla extract. If the texture is too dry, add a few tablespoons of coconut oil.
Add Swerve or sugar.
Add flaked almonds.
(roasting the almonds quickly will release more flavour. Just throw them on a non-stick pan and roast for 1-2 minutes)Process the mixture well and place in a square baking dish or any container (about 8x8 inch / ~ 20x20 cm for 8 pieces) lined with parchment paper. Press the batter in firmly to cover the whole surface and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
After the batter seems firm, remove from the fridge. Place it on a cutting board and cut into 8 equal pieces using a knife or pizza cutter.
Store in the fridge and enjoy!
