Time 🍴 Servings
60 min 16 bars

Ingredients

  • 400g peanut butter crunchy
  • 210g protein powder plant based (unflavoured)
  • 100g almonds (ground)
  • 170g chia seeds milled
  • 4 tbsp maple syrup
  • 290ml water
  • 160g medjool date roughly chopped
  • 250g dark chocolate (80%) roughly chopped

Instruction

  1. Line a 20x28cm baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Put a small amount of water into a kettle and bring to the boil. Place the dates into a shallow bowl and pour over a small amount of boiling water - just enough to cover. Set aside to soak for about 10 minutes, then roughly mash with a potato masher or the back of a fork until you have a spreadable paste.
  3. Place the peanut butter, protein powder, ground almonds, milled chia seeds, maple syrup, and water into a food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape into the prepared tin and press down using the back of a spoon.
  4. Spread out the mashed dates on top as evenly as possible.
  5. Place into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes, until firm.
  6. Slowly melt the chocolate with a low heat (200W for 2 min).
  7. Pour the chocolate over mashed dates and the top layer.
  8. Before the chocolate becomes firm, sprinkle over some extra toppings and slice the content into 18 even-sized bars.
