Date Protein Bar
Description
Store-bought protein bars can be expensive and full of artificial ingredients or loads of sugar. These homemade no-bake protein bars are a game-changer — they’re made with simple, nourishing ingredients like oats, dates, and peanut butter, with over 10g of protein per bar. They’re soft, chewy, and topped with a layer of rich dark chocolate (because you deserve it). You’ll be hooked after one bite — and your wallet will thank you too!

Instructions
Soften the dates:
-
Soak your pitted dates in warm water for 10 minutes, then drain.
Blend the base:
-
In a food processor, combine softened dates, almond flour, oat flour, protein powder, and peanut butter. Pulse until a dough forms. If it’s too dry or crumbly, add 1–3 tbsp almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until soft and moldable.
Shape:
-
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan using a spatula or clean hands.
Make the topping:
-
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Assemble:
-
Pour the melted chocolate over the base and spread evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
Freeze:
-
Place the pan in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the topping is set.
Cut and store:
-
Remove from the freezer, slice into bars, and store in the fridge for up to one week.
