Ingredients
¼ cup Unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup Coconut butter, softened
½ cup Coconut oil, softened
½ teaspoon Vanilla liquid stevia
1 teaspoon Maple extract
1 teaspoon Pure maple syrup
4 scoop Vanilla protein powder
¼ cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the almond milk, softened coconut butter, softened coconut oil, vanilla stevia, maple extract, and maple syrup. Whisk until fully blended and smooth. Taste the mixture and add more stevia if you prefer a sweeter bar.
In a separate bowl, add the vanilla protein powder. Slowly stir the wet mixture from step 1 into the protein powder, mixing until no dry powder remains and the batter is well combined.
Line an 8 by 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the paper to extend past the edges for easy removal.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and press firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon or your hands until the surface is level and compact.
If using the optional walnuts, press them gently into the top of the batter, distributing them evenly.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, until the mixture is completely firm.
Carefully lift the batter out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper and transfer it to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut into 12 equal bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
