1 cup almond flour 1-2 tbsp of vanilla protein or chocolate protein powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1/3 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1-2 tbsp maple syrup, honey or sugar-free syrup
Dark chocolate or sugar-free chocolate chips
Roasted cashews
Date caramel
1 cup brown dates soaked in water until soft
1/2 cup nut butter
Toppings
Melted Sugar-free chocolate chips or dark chocolate
crushed roasted cashews
crushed pistachios
pistachio butter ganache
cacao nibs
Pistachio butter ganache
1 cup pistachio butter
100g white chocolate or 50ml coconut oil mixed with 50ml honey or syrup to create a ganache
Method
Add the oats to a blender and blend until fine, then add the oats, almond flour, protein powder, cinnamon, and some salt to a medium bowl. Gradually pour in the coconut oil, cashew butter, and syrup and mix well.
Fold in the chocolate chips, add 1-2 tbsp of the batter to each mold, and tap the bottom on the counter to have a smooth base.
Add 1-2 tbsp of the date caramel, then the roasted cashews on top and freeze until set.
For the date caramel: add the soaked and drained dates to a blender, then the nut butter, and blend until smooth. (Add some milk if needed to smooth it out.)
Once the bars are set, remove them from the molds and dip them in the desired chocolate mixture of choice, or just a drizzle.
Add some crushed nuts, cacao nibs, pistachio butter ganache and more chocolate on top!
