Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unflavored protein powder
  • 1/3 cup old fashioned oatmeal uncooked
  • 2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder
  • 1 Tablespoon of sugar Splenda works too
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 20 dried pitted dates
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/3 cup raw slivered almonds

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of your food processor, combine protein powder, oatmeal, cocoa powder, and sugar. Pulse to chop finely.
  2. Add vanilla, dates, oil, water, and salt. Process until mixture resembles very fine crumbs.
  3. Add almonds and process until the mixture forms a sticky dough ball. If your mixture seems too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it forms a ball.
  4. Refrigerate dough until chilled- about 1 hour.
  5. Roll out dough to 1" thickness and cut into bars. Garnish with additional slivered almonds, if desired.

Recipe Notes

If you prefer to make bite size treats to take along, roll into 24 balls and roll balls in powdered sugar or crushed nuts, to reduce sticking.

Layer bars between wax paper and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
