Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Whey protein powder, chocolate flavor
• 0.5 cup Almond butter
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Stevia or preferred sugar-free sweetener
• 0.25 cup Chopped almonds
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, whey protein powder, stevia, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine almond butter and unsweetened almond milk. Stir until the almond butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the almond butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir well until the mixture is thoroughly combined. It should form a thick dough.

Step 5

Fold in chopped almonds and chia seeds (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly and pressing down firmly with a spatula or your hands to compact it into the pan evenly.

Step 7

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until the bars are firm and set.

Step 8

Once set, lift the mixture out of the pan using the overhanging parchment paper and place it on a cutting board.

Step 9

Cut into 8 equal-sized bars. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
