Ingredients
  

For the base
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate) Choose a high-quality powder to boost the nutritional content.
  • 1/3 cup almond butter Opt for natural almond butter without added sugars or oils.
  • 3-4 Tbsp water Adjust the amount as needed for the right consistency.
For the caramel layer
  • 8 pieces pitted Medjool dates These will add natural sweetness and a caramel-like texture.
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil Solid coconut oil works best for blending with the dates.
  • 2 Tbsp additional protein powder This enhances the caramel layer.
For the chocolate coating
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips Choose a brand with at least 60% cacao.
  • 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil Helps the chocolate melt and coat smoothly.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing extra paper to overhang on the sides.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the protein powder, almond butter, and 3 tablespoons of water. Gradually add more water until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and press down evenly with a spatula.
  4. Soak the pitted Medjool dates in hot water for 5 minutes, then blend with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil until smooth.
  5. Stir in the additional protein powder and layer the mixture on top of the crust.
  6. Place the pan in the freezer for 2 hours to firm up the layers.
  7. Once set, remove the contents from the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into even bars.
Coating
  1. Melt the dark chocolate chips with the additional coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
  2. Dip each bar in the melted chocolate, shaking off the excess before placing on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Chill the coated bars in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
