Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup (192g) natural creamy peanut butter (just peanuts + salt)
  • ¼ cup (84g) honey (or coconut palm syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • ⅓ cup (40g) ground flaxseed meal
  • ½ cup (40g) vanilla or plain protein powder (choose your favorite brand)*
  • 2.5 ounces of your favorite 85% dark chocolate bar
  • Coarse sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, honey, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  2. Add the dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the ground flaxseed meal and protein powder. When the dough becomes too thick to mix with a spoon, use clean hands to combine everything until it resembles cookie dough.
  3. Press into a pan: Line an 8×4 inch pan with parchment paper and press the mixture evenly into the pan.
  4. Melt the chocolate: In a small saucepan, melt the dark chocolate until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage.
  5. Chill and slice: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set. Slice into 10 bars or squares as desired.
  6. Store and enjoy: Keep the bars covered in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh for up to two weeks.

Notes

  • You can customize these bars by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to the mixture for extra texture and flavor.
  • For a sweeter option, use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for the topping.
