Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cashew butter (125 g)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (28 g) Plus 1 teaspoon for topping
  • 1/4 cup honey or coconut palm syrup (85 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 mL)

  • 3 tablespoons chocolate chips or 1 ounce dark chocolate (85 g)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil for topping (5 g)
  • Fancy sea salt For sprinkling on top

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat cashew butter, coconut oil, honey, and vanilla in a saucepan over low heat until melted and combined. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate protein powder until smooth. Fold in the rolled oats and chia seeds until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the mixture into an 8×4 inch (20×10 cm) loaf pan lined with parchment paper, spreading it evenly.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  5. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the bars and sprinkle with fancy sea salt for an added crunch.
  6. Place the filled loaf pan in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set.
  7. Once set, remove from the pan and cut into 10 squares.

Notes

Store tightly wrapped or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Pair with nut butter or fresh fruit for an indulgent treat.
