Vegan Chocolate Almond Protein Bars

From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR Fitness

Vegan Protein Bars

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup raw almonds
    1/4 teaspoon sea salt
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 1/2 cups rolled oats
    5 ounces plant-based vanilla protein powder
    1/3 cup maple syrup
    1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

  1. Prepare an eight-by-eight-inch square pan by lining it with parchment paper or cooking spray.
  2. Measure out 1/4 cup of the almonds, chop, and set aside for the topping.
  3. In a food processor, pour in the remaining 3/4 cup of almonds and the salt. Process until you have almond butter, or several minutes.
  4. Add the oats, protein powder, cinnamon, and maple syrup, and process until smooth.
  5. Press the mixture into the pan using the back of a spoon. Top with the chopped almonds, pressing those into the bars.
  6. Place the chocolate chips in a small glass bowl, and microwave until melted. Drizzle the chocolate over the bars, and allow to set in the fridge for 20 minutes before cutting.
  7. Store the uneaten bars in an airtight container in the fridge.
