Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2½ cups old-fashioned gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 scoop Cafe Mocha Low Carb Protein Blend
  • 10 Medjool dates pitted
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil optional
  • 120 dark chocolate chips optional

Method
 

  1. Combine oats, protein powder, dates, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix until a ball forms.
  2. If the dough is too crumbly, you may add water or milk until desired consistency.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer, smoothing the top as much as possible.
  4. Cover with parchment and place in the refrigerator or freezer to chill until firm.
  5. Remove the bars from the pan and slice into 10 or 12 equal-sized rectangular bars.
  6. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil(optional). *
  7. Dip bars in the optional melted chocolate to coat and allow to sit at room temperature until set.
  8. Store the bars in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
  9. Enjoy!

Notes

Chef’s notes:  *If you would like a secondary option and are a fan of peanut butter (I mean, who isn’t?), you can add peanut butter and cacao powder. If you are making these for the kiddos, I find tossing in a few of the cacao nibs into the batter always make it more of a “treat.”  And just by changing up the flavor of the protein, you can really let your culinary creativity run wild.
