Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/4 cup plant-based protein powder (I used pure pumpkin seed protein powder)
- 3/4 cup tiger nut flour
- pinch salt
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened sunflower seed butter (you can sub with peanut butter)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Chocolate Topping
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cacao/cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened flax milk (or other plant milk- just be mindful of nuts/grains/sugar if trying to avoid)
- 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, tiger nut flour, salt, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, and cinnamon. Add the sunflower seed butter, vanilla, and maple syrup, and melted coconut oil. Stir to form a dough-like batter. Press the “dough” into the baking pan.
- To make the chocolate topping, whisk together the cocoa powder, plant milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. In a glass measuring cup or bowl, melt the sunflower seed butter and coconut oil and then stir it into the cocoa powder mixture. Pour the chocolate over the dough and spread it into an even layer. Place the baking pan in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, until the chocolate layer is set.
- Slice into bars. Keep them stored in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 1 week. You may also keep them in the freezer and then just pop in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.
