ingredients
- 3/4 cup unflavoured whey protein powder (I use Bare Blends Bare Whey Protein Isolate)
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 2 x 20ml tablespoons maca powder (I use Bare Blends Organic Raw Peruvian Maca Powder) *
- 1 x 20ml tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 x 20ml tablespoon extra virgin coconut oil, melted
- 2 x 20ml tablespoons rice malt syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- Unsweetened desiccated coconut, for coating
directions
1. Tip the protein powder, oat flour, maca powder and coconut flour into a bowl and mix to combine. Make a well in the centre and pour in the melted coconut oil, rice malt syrup and water.
2. Using a large and sturdy spoon, stir everything together until well combined. (I recommend using a large and sturdy spoon because the mixture gets very thick and sticky so you'll need to use your muscles to stir everything until well combined. I used a thin metal spoon once and it ended up slightly bent). If the mixture is way too sticky, add a little extra coconut flour. If it's way too dry, add a little extra water. Break off pieces of the mixture and shape into bars in your hands.
3. Coat in some desiccated coconut and then leave them in the fridge to set. Store the bars in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Makes about 4 - 6 bars (depending on how large you want them).
