Cooking Time

5 minutes

Yields

16 bars

Ingredients

  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate chopped
  • 3 tablespoon avocado oil (or coconut oil)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ to ½ cups powdered sweetener (sweeten to taste)
  •  cup collagen protein
  • 2 ½ cup crispy protein cereal (I used the cocoa cereal)
  •  cup hemp seeds

Directions

  • Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment or waxed paper, with overhanging sides for easy removal.

  • Place the protein cereal in a re-sealable bag. Use a kitchen mallet or a rolling pin to break up the cereal into smaller pieces. (You don't have to hit it hard, it breaks up easily).

  • In a heatproof bowl set over a bowl of barely simmering water, combine the peanut butter, unsweetened chocolate, and oil, stirring until smooth and melted.

  • Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Then add the sweetener and collagen and whisk vigorously until smooth.

  • Add the protein crisps and hemp seeds and stir to coat.

  • Press the mixture in the prepared baking pan as evenly as you can. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Cut into 16 bars

Notes

Storage Information: Store these bars in a covered container on the counter for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for a week. You can also freeze them for several months.
