Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 2 scoops Vanilla Protein Ka'Chava all-in-one shake
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 1-2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Ganache coating
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate
- 2 tbsp coconut coconut cream
Instructions
- Mix together all the ingredients, minus chocolate chips until smooth
- If mixture is too sticky add another tbsp of coconut flour. You want a cookie dough texture that presses easily between your fingers, without sticking
- Fold in chocolate chips
- Press into loaf tin lined with parchment paper
- Melt chocolate in 30 second intervals until almost all the way smooth, then stir in coconut cream
- Pour and spread overtop the bars, sprinkle with flakey sea salt, and refrigerate for 1 hour for best texture
- Slice into bars and enjoy!
Notes
I used Ka'chava plant based Vanilla all-in-one shake here. Please note that different protein powders will yield different textures (whey protein, pea protein, beef isolate protein, etc.). Adjust your mixture by adding more/less coconut flour or maple syrup until you achieve that cookie dough texture that easily presses between your fingers without sticking to you (see photos in above blog post for reference)
