• Peanut Butter: Made with natural peanut butter to make these cookie dough bars have a healthy source of fat and peanut butter cup flavor
• Coconut flour: A high in fiber and grain-free flour
• Vanilla protein: For a protein boost and a little extra sweetness and flavor 
• Maple Syrup: Just a little maple syrup for a hint of sweetness
• Mini Chocolate Chips: Dairy-free chocolate chips mixed in to get that true peanut butter cup taste 
• Sea salt: Helps to bring out all the flavors 

• Makes 8 full-size protein bars or 16-32 snack-size treats depending on what size you cut them into
• Allergic to peanut butter? Feel free to substitute with different nut butter or use sun butter to keep it nut-free
• You can substitute chocolate chips with cacao nibs for extra superfoods
• 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
• 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 peanut butter that is made of only peanuts and salt for good consistency  
• 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
