Equipment

  • 1 9x4 Loaf Pan
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Almond Butter
  • 1 Cup Vanilla Collagen I used Primal Kitchen Vanilla Coconut Collagen Powder.
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey You can swap for maple syrup.
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Chocolate

  • ¼ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • Add almond butter, vanilla collagen, melted coconut oil, coconut flour, honey, and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Stir together with a spatula or spoon until a thick dough forms.
  • Next, pour the cookie dough mixture into a parchment paper lined bread pan. Use a spatula to flatten it out. Pour the chocolate chips on top and gently press them into the dough.
  • Chill the dough for 2-3 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Finally, use the parchment paper to pull the mixture out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and carefully cut 12 bars out with a warm knife. (Run the knife under hot water and dry with a towel.)
  • Place the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you're ready to enjoy!

Notes

**Note that the nutrition facts will vary depending on what collagen powder you use.

Expert Tips

  • Use a spatula to mix the dough together. Make sure you scrape the sides to incorporate everything together.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper so the bars don't stick. Use the parchment paper to easily pull the bars out of the bread pan.
  • For best results, run hot water on a sharp knife and dry with a towel before you cut into the bars. This will ensure clean cut each time.
  • Use a smaller bread pan to make thicker bar.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftover protein bars should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
