My doctor wants me to eat protein at every meal, but I struggle to find ways of incorporating it without feeling heavy. I’m not a fan of store-bought protein bars because their consistency is too powdery and thick.

I decided to blend my childhood desires with my protein needs to make a chewy chocolate chip bar full of protein, fiber, energy, and tasty treats.

Makes 12 Bars

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 3⁄4 cup apple butter
  • 1⁄4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1⁄2 cup coconut flour
  • 1⁄2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 3⁄4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1⁄2 cup chia seeds
  • 1 cup slivered almonds

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and place a silicone liner on a baking sheet. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut oil, apple butter, maple syrup, and almond extract.

2. Slowly whisk in the coconut flour, protein powder, flaxseeds, salt, and cinnamon. Fold in the coconut flakes, chocolate chips, chia seeds, and almonds.

3. Grab about a golf-ball-size piece of dough and roll it into a narrow log shape about 3 inches long. Pat the log into a rectangular shape.

4. Arrange the bars, evenly spaced, on the prepared sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
