Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup coconut oil
• 0.25 cup almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring there's some overhang to lift the bars out easily once set.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, and chia seeds. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, coconut oil, and almond milk. Stir occasionally until the coconut oil is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a spatula or your hands until a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press it down firmly and evenly with your hands or the back of a spatula to ensure it sets properly.

Step 8

Place the dish in the refrigerator and allow the bars to firm up for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 9

Once firm, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the block out of the dish. Cut into 12 bars using a sharp knife.

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
