How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo

Freeze For 3 months

Best by 3 months frozen

Shopping List

1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour (Note 1)
66666667/100000000 cup plant-based vanilla protein powder of choice
66666667/100000000 cup smooth almond and/or cashew butter
1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (we use these)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons non-dairy milk

Instructions

Step 1: Line 1 (8 in. x 4 in.) bread pan with parchment paper, so that the paper flaps hang off of the sides.
Step 2: Add all of the ingredients, except the chocolate chips, in a large mixing bowl. Use a spatula to stir everything together until a thick dough ball is formed. It will seem like it won't come together, but keep working the dough and really putting some muscle into it. Once combined, fold in half of the chocolate chips. Note: The type of protein powder you use will have a big effect on the texture here. Add more milk, a little at a time, to reach a firm (but not crumbly or very dry) consistency.
Step 3: Press the dough into the lined pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top. Press them in well to stick. Refrigerate for 1 hour, up to overnight.
Serve: Remove the bars from the pan using the parchment flaps. Cut the block into 8 slices, or into 16 smaller squares. To store, freeze any leftover bars and let sit on the counter for a few minutes before eating. P.S. Want to make this with oats instead? Try these other Homemade Perfect Bars.
