Chocolate Banana Protein Bars

These are so delicious and easy to make. I whipped up a double batch and decided to add a little chocolate drizzle on top this time around. You will need to bake it longer if you want several bars, why wouldn’t you? If you love the look of my recipes, head to my online store to order your pre-made ebook or a custom meal plan.

Ingredients for one batch

• 1 banana (mashed)

• 1 1/4 cups organic old fashioned oats

• 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 1/3 cup almond or peanut butter

• 1 -2 tsp organic true cinnamon

• 1/3 cup plant-based protein powder

• coconut oil optional to add chocolate sauce on top // I actually prefer without now

• 2 tbsp cacao or cocoa with an added splash of maple syrup for sauce

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC)

2. Place all ingredients together in a bowl and mix well with a spatula

3. Pack mixture down firmly into a pan. (I use a 9 x 9 square pan)

4. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Remove and let cool for 30 minutes

5. When cool, cut into bars. Store in an air-tight container or wrap them individually and throw them in the freezer for an easy grab-and-go snack

6. If mixing coconut oil, cacao and a splash of maple syrup, it will set best in the freezer versus the fridge, but both work

Enjoy!
