A confident take on cookie dough, this recipe offers healthy, grain-free protein bars made with Zazubean’s zero added sugar Panama Bar, perfect for a community of healthy eaters.
1. To a mixing bowl, add peanut butter powder and water. Whisk until you have a runny peanut butter.
2. Add in maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Whisk to combine.
3. Add in pea protein and almond flour.
4. Fold everything together until you have a cookie dough texture.
*Trouble shooting texture*: Because protein powders vary so much in texture, your dough maybe be too thick or too runny. If it’s too thick, you can add in 1-2 tbsp water or a dairy free milk of choice to smooth it into a dough. If it’s too thin, simply add 1-2 tbsp at a time more protein powder until desired consistency.
5. Once you have the perfect cookie dough texture, fold in 1 chopped Zazubean Panama Bar.
6. Line a loaf pan or small baking pan with parchment paper and press the cookie dough into it. Smooth the top with a spoon.
7. Melt the second Zazubean Panama Bar in the microwave or over a double broiler with 1 tbsp oil.
8. Pour melted chocolate over the bars and smooth from edge to edge.
9. Top with flaky sea salt if desired.
10. Set the bar in the freezer to firm, 30 minutes or more.
11. Slice the bars into desired sizes. (The creator sliced theirs into 8 for listed macros).
12. Keep bars in the fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy!
