Servings 12 protein bars (in a 20*20 cm square pan)
Author Natalie
Ingredients
For the bars:
200 grams (2 cups) whole oats
120 grams (6 units) pitted dates
80 ml. (1/3 cup) soy milk
25 grams (2 ½ tbsp.) protein powder
15 ml. (1 tbsp.) pure maple syrup
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. vanilla extract
20 grams (2 tbsp.) cocoa powder
For decoration (optional):
50 grams dark chocolate
Instructions
In a food processor with a steel blade put oats, dates, soy milk, protein powder, maple, salt, vanilla, and cocoa are blend until a uniform, slightly sticky batter is obtained.
Transfer the mixture to the pan and the tightly press it in a uniform layer.
Freeze for 3-4 hours until set.
Using a sharp knife cut into 12 bars.
Decoration: dissolve the chocolate in the microwave or over double-boiler until it is completely melted.
Transfer the melted chocolate to a small piping bag and drizzle a little chocolate at the top of the protein bars.
Freeze for a few minutes to set and serve.
Recipe Notes
Keep the bars in the freezer for up to a month.
The bars can be served directly from the freezer or if you prefer them a little softer – at room temperature.
The protein powder is optional, but of course, increases the amount of protein in the bars. I used whey vanilla protein powder that is available here (affiliate).
Instead of maple, you can use date syrup or honey in the same amount.
For vegan protein bars, it is important to make sure that the protein powder used is vegan.
