Equipment

  • 1 9x4 Bread Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1+¼ Cup Chocolate Collagen Powder
  • 1 Cup Almond Butter
  • ¼ Cup Cacao Powder
  • ¼ Cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey

  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Flour

Instructions
 

  • Add almond butter, chocolate collagen, cacao powder, 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.)

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Use a spatula to mix the dough together. Make sure you scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate everything together.
  • They will get soft and sticky at room temperature so it's best to keep them in the refrigerator or freezer.
  • 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 bars.
  • It's important to chill the bars for at least 2-3 hours before you remove them from the pan. If they're too soft, pop them in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up.

How To Store Leftovers

Leftover protein bars should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can also store them in the freezer for 2-3 months!
