Recipe Tips:
- Makes 8 full-size protein bars or 16-32 snack-size treats depending on what size you cut them into
- These can also be made into balls instead of bars by scooping with a cookie dough scoop or rolling into balls
- The key is to use a vanilla protein powder you like the taste of and enjoy. Here are a few of my go-to protein powders
- I like to use sprinkles that are dye free. I used these for this recipe.
- You can replace the maple syrup with any liquid sweetener
- You can replace the coconut flour with oat flour but it will result in a softer texture and you will need 2-3x more oat flour than coconut flour
- Make sure to use cashew butter that is made of only cashews and salt for good consistency. I often buy mine from Trader Joes.
- Store in fridge or freezer in an air-tight container depending on the consistency you enjoy
- Stays fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days and in the freeze for up to 3 months
