Description
The best chocolate bar you will ever eat! These peanut butter protein bars will be your new favourite snack at work which are incredibly macro-friendly compared to the chocolate bars you buy from the vending machine. This no-bake method is pretty straightforward too and only requires 10 minutes of prep time.
Scale
Ingredients
- 90g Smooth Peanut Butter
- 60g Vanilla Protein Powder (see notes)
- 30g Stevia Extract (or your preferred sweetener)
- 60g Greek Yogurt
- 1 tbsp Ground Ginger (optional)
- 100g Dark Chocolate
Instructions
Preparation
- It is best to use a narrow baking tray or a loaf tin as that will help shape up the protein bars. Ensure you use a non-stick baking sheet and even apply some coconut oil, as the peanut butter layer will be sticky at first.
Bottom Layer
- In a large bowl, add the peanut butter, honey and coconut oil, and stir to combine.
- Add the protein powder, scoop at a time, and you may need to use your hands to knead into ball.
- Shape it up into a flat layer in your baking tray.
Dark Chocolate Layer
- To melt the dark chocolate, add it to a heatproof bowl and heat it over the saucepan when the water is boiling. This will prevent the chocolate burning or sticking to the saucepan.
- Once cooled down, apply the layer of dark chocolate over the peanut butter layer.
Refrigerate
- There is no baking involved! Simply place your tray in the fridge for 30 to 40 minutes, and slice them into your preferred size.
Notes
- I used vanilla casein protein powder and these bars tasted fine.
- Refrigerate up to 7-10 days.
