- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly into an even layer, smoothing the top as much as possible.
- Cover with parchment and place in the refrigerator or freezer to chill until firm.
- Remove the bars from the pan and slice into 10 or 12 equal-sized rectangular bars.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil(optional). *
- Dip bars in the optional melted chocolate to coat and allow to sit at room temperature until set.
- Store the bars in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
- 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.
