Making these protein chocolate almond bars:
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the almond flour and pea protein. Then add in the vanilla, almond butter, maple syrup and water until well combined. Pour the mixture into a small dish (4″x 2″ or 4″x 4″) and use the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten out the mixture until there’s an even surface. Then melt the chocolate in 30 second increments (stirring intermittently) and pour over the top of the mix. Spread it out until you have an even, thin layer of chocolate.
Place in the fridge for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened. Then remove and cut into 6-8 squares depending on the size of the dish you used. You can double the recipe for extra servings or for thicker bars. Store these in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
