Puree the fresh pineapple in a small blender, and mix with vanilla protein powder and coconut flour. I used my hands to mix the dough to knead and press the dough into shape.
Do a quick taste test and add 1-2 Tbsp of sugar if desired.
Add more coconut flour if the dough is too soft, add a teaspoon or more of water or almond milk if the dough is too thick
Add some chopped pineapple into the dough for additional texture (optional)
Shape the dough into a flat, rectangular shaped mound. For the best results, wrap in plastic wrap, then let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Slice into bars
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 second bursts until melted, stirring in between.
Dip the protein bar into the melted chocolate and then set it aside on a clean parchment paper. Drizzle with more chocoalte if desired.
Let the chocolate set before enjoying
Notes
*Preferably fresh, but you can also use frozen or canned pineapples. I pureed them in a small blender to use for this recipe.**Vanilla protein powder is sweet enough that it the bars turn out sweet without adding sugar. If using unflavored protein powder, add more sugar, to taste.
