Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based protein powder (30 g) try whey/casein protein at own risk, or oat flour if you don't have protein
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (6 g) adjust to desired level of darkness
  • 1-2 tbsp (nut) milk (30 g) I used unsweetened almond milk

Chocolate ganache and sprinkles

  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips (15 g) vegan if desired
  • 1 tbsp nut/seed butter (16 g)
  • 1 tsp sprinkles (4 g)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add nut butter, maple syrup, protein powder, cocoa powder and most of the nut milk, stir to combine into a homogenous bar dough, adding more milk as needed. How much milk you need will depend on your nut butter and protein powder.
  • Press into your muffin tin (or any baking dish).
  • In a small bowl add chocolate and nut butter. Microwave 30 sec at a time and stir until all chocolate has melted. Spread the chocolate coating on the cups evenly. Sprinkle with sprinkles. Freeze or refrigerate 20-30 min to set.
  • If frozen, thaw a few minutes before enjoying. Keep them refrigerated or frozen!

Notes

  • I have not tried this recipe with whey protein so try it at your own risk. I used Orgain plant-based protein powders of all kinds, and they all work beautifully!
  • If keeping them frozen thaw them for a few minutes before taking a bite!
