Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 7 dates, soft and pitted
- ¼ cup brown rice protein powder (any kind/flavor will work)
- ¼ cup hemp seeds (raw)
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil
- ½ cup dried coconut flakes
- ¼ cup cacao powder
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 dash sea salt
Chocolate Coating:
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 1.5 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
- 4 Tbsp. cacao powder
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 Pyrex baking dish with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
- Place oats in food processor and process until you have oat flour. Pour flour into a medium bowl and set aside.
- Next, place dates in food processor and give them a quick pulse or two to break them up a little. Then add protein, hemp seeds, coconut oil, coconut flakes, cacao powder and sea salt to the food processor. Process until well combined.
- Scrape the mixture out of the food processor and roll around in oat flour. Then put the mixture back into the food processor and process until uniform in color.
- Pour Mixture into prepared pan and place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Make chocolate coating by mixing all 'Chocolate Coating' ingredients together in a medium bowl.
- Cut bars into squares and roll around in chocolate until coated (this gets a little messy!)
- Once all the bars are coated, place back in freezer for at least 20 minutes to harden up. Keep bars in freezer until ready to eat.
