Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (256 grams) natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (29 grams) dutch-process cocoa powder
- 21 to 42 grams vanilla protein powder
- 2 1/2 to 5 tablespoons (51–102 grams) maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons chopped semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
- about 2 tablespoons finely chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Use higher amounts of protein powder and maple syrup for a dessert flavor, or lower amounts for a snack-style bar.
- Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl with a wooden spoon until well mixed. If too dry, use your hands to blend more easily.
- If the mixture is too wet, add protein powder gradually until it holds shape when pressed.
- Shape the mixture into a rectangle on parchment paper. Aim for about 4”x7”.
- Melt chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the rectangle and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
- Cut into bars and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for a week. They can be frozen for up to 2 months, softening at room temperature before serving.
