Servings: 10 bars
Calories: 236kcal
Ingredients
- 2 bananas very ripe
- 1 cup peanut butter unsalted with no sugar added
- 1 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Blend all ingredients except chocolate in a food processor or blender. Scrape down the sides and blend until smooth.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer. The batter will be sticky. Wetting a spatula with a small amount of water can help with this. Add the chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 30 minutes then remove from the oven and cool at room temperature at least 1 hour before slicing into bars.
- Store the bars in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks or in the freezer up to 90 days. My cookbook has another protein bar recipe and other protein snack options.
