No bake choc chip peanut butter protein bars ✨

No bake choc chip peanut butter protein bars ✨

aka a perfect bar copy cat (iykyk the obsession is real)

my current & ur soon to be new fave snack obsession!!!

They literally taste like your eating peanut butter cups but in bar form & are without question the perfect snack to keep you (+ your belly) happy, thriving & crushing the festive szn (I’m not even a little bit ready but yummy snacks make me happy so…)! 💪🏻🫠

1 bowl + 15 mins . . .

Here’s how you do it:

Makes 5

🌟1/4 C protein powder - I used @macr0mike vanilla buttercream almond protein but, the new golden Gaytime or caramelized white choc are amazing here too!
🌟3/4 C almond flour
🌟1 Tbsp monk fruit sweetener - I use @lakantoaustralia
🌟1/2 tsp pumpkin spice (see prev post) - optional but 🔥
🌟2/3 C peanut butter - I prefer smooth here
🌟2 Tbsp maple syrup - I use sugar free/monk fruit maple
🌟1 tsp vanilla
🌟1-2 Tbsp unsweetened almond milk - or water/milk of choice - just enough to bring the “dough” together
🌟Dark choc - chips or chopped - measure w/ your ❤️
🌟 a pinch of flakey sea salt

✳️Line a small square baking dish (I used a 5 x 5 inch) or loaf pan with baking/parchment and set aside.
✳️Place all ingredients (except for the chocolate & milk / water) in to a medium size bowl and stir until well combined.
✳️add milk or water 1 tsp at a time (as needed) just enough to bring the dough together.
✳️Press dough into your prepared baking dish or loaf pan and flatten with silicone spatula, spoon or even just your hands pressing down in a nice even layer & making sure its smoothed all the way to the edges.
✳️Add chocolate chips & press again to make sure they hold firm/sink in to the top of the dough.
✳️ sprinkle wth sea salt (if you want & FYI - you do!!!)
✳️Place in freezer for 15-20 mins to set
✳️Once set, cut into bars & they’re ready to go!
✳️Store in airtight container in the fridge.
✳️Enjoy xo

Swipe 👉🏻 or peep my stories highlight to cook-a-long w/ me 🥰:

Makes 12 mini cups of awesomeness

🥜 Cups -

🌟1/2 C silky smooth peanut butter
🌟2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
🌟2 Tbsp sugar-free maple syrup
🌟A big pinch of salt

🍫Filling -

🌟1/2 C dark chocolate - I used 85% 🙌🏻
🌟1/4 C canned coconut milk
🌟1/2 tsp finely ground instant espresso (I use mocha @beforeyouspeakcoffee ) - technically opt but helps enhance the richness of the choc
🌟1 scp collagen - opt but adds a hit of protein & great for hair, skin, nails & gut health ❤️

✳️Mix filling in a saucepan over low heat until smooth & well combined
✳️Pour/spoon paper cupcake cases
✳️Use the back of a sml tsp to smooth up the edges
✳️Chill in the freezer for 5 to set
✳️Melt choc
✳️Add espresso pwd (if using) & coconut milk & stir until smooth
✳️Chill in the freezer for 5. This is important! If you dont let the choc chill it will melt your PB cups when you try to fill them.
✳️Once your choc has chilled & your PB cups have set fill each PB cup with 2 tsp choc filling & cover with extra PB mix
✳️Chill for 5
✳️Sprinkle w/ sea salt
✳️Devour😋
❄️Keep chilled - can be frozen

{Sugar free-Dairy free} peppermint mocha✨

Aka what’s helping get me through the next 3 days!! 😬

The decadent richness of cacao + a gentle hum (or loud rev if you prefer) of espresso & a subtle hint of minty freshness 🤤

And yes, if you aren’t a fan of coffee (pls tell me how we’re friends again?! jk - you know ILY) you can just leave it out & have yourself a dreamy choc mint chiller instead. It will still be incredible just not quite as magical IMO.

No added sugar ✅
Packed with protein ✅
Rich in magnesium ✅
Loaded with gut-healing goodness ✅

Seriously, so good! Starbucks who?! 🙊

I can’t think of a better way to start, end or fill the day than binge watching Christmas movies with a cup of this deliciousness!

🌟Pch salt
🌟1/2 C unsweetened vanilla almond milk

❄️❄️❄️

✨ Protein pwd - if doing iced for b/fast or in the afternoon I add scp of protein pwd I ❤️ @macr0mike limited edition🎄 white chocolate candy cane almond protein here but, the deluxe (or white) choc, iced mocha & vanilla buttercream all = a VERY GOOD TIME too! AMB-EM = 10% off if you want to try & believe me, you do!

🍫Best served with a dollop of whip, a cheeky shaving of @evolvedchocolate & a cute little candy cane
