Ingredients
- 1/16 oz Avocado Oil Spray
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Protein Powder
- 1 cup Egg Whites
- 2 tbsps Coconut Flour
- 2 tbsps Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/4 cup Pitted Dates
- 2 oz Dark Chocolate
- 3 tbsps Hemp Seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF (165ºC). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with the avocado oil.
- Add the protein powder, egg whites, coconut flour, almond milk, and dates to a blender or food processor. Blend until just smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Make sure the oven is preheated before baking.
- Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the loaf pan and onto a cooling rack. Cool for at least 10 minutes to ensure they hold together.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in 30-second intervals in the microwave.
- Cut the bars and drizzle the chocolate over top. Sprinkle the hemp hearts on the bars and enjoy
Notes
Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to seven days.
Serving Size: One serving is one bar. One loaf pan yields four servings.
More Flavor: Add peppermint extract to the batter for a chocolate peppermint flavor.
Avocado Oil Spray: One gram (or 1/16 oz) of avocado oil spray is equal to a one-second spray.
Protein Powder: This recipe was developed and tested using a plant-based protein powder. A whey protein powder would likely still work; however, cook times may vary slightly.
Coconut Flour: This recipe was tested using Bob’s Red Mill coconut flour. If using a different coconut flour, results my vary slightly.
