Description

Easy no-bake Chocolate Peanut Protein Bars made with peanuts and protein powder, sweetened naturally with medjool dates!

Instructions

  1. Line a loaf pan with parchment or wax paper. If your dates are hard, soak them in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to soften up.
  2. Place dates and peanuts in the bowl of a large food processor. Process a minute or two, or until a crumbly mixture is formed.
  3. Add protein powder, cacao powder, and 1 tbsp water. Use a spatula to break apart and stir mixture a bit by hand before processing again until a dough ball is formed.
  4. Place mixture in pan and flatten well with hands until even and smooth.
  5. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle over bars and top with crushed peanuts, if you're feeling fancy. Freeze overnight and cut into 8-10 bars. I like to store in the freezer!
