Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup whey protein isolate (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
• 0.33 cup chopped almonds
• 0.25 cup granulated erythritol or low-carb sweetener of choice
• 0.5 cup almond butter
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, whey protein isolate, chopped almonds, and granulated erythritol. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine almond butter and coconut oil. Microwave on medium power for 30 seconds, or until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth. Stir well.

Step 3

Add unsweetened almond milk and vanilla extract to the almond butter and coconut oil mixture and stir until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a thick dough forms.

Step 5

Fold the sugar-free dark chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 7

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula or your hands to flatten and smooth the surface.

Step 8

Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour or until set.

Step 9

Once the bars have set, lift them out of the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place them on a cutting board.

Step 10

Cut into 8 equal bars and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
