Ingredients

Protein Bars

⅔ cup vanilla protein powder*
¼ cup coconut flour
⅓ cup cream cheese of choice dairy or dairy free, low fat or full fat
2 tsp cinnamon powder
3 Tbsp sugar of choice can omit if desired
¼ cup unsweetened applesauce**

Deco

2-3 Tbsp melted white chocolate

Instructions

Mix together all the protein bar ingredients together, except the white chocolate we'll use for drizzling at the end.
Do a quick taste test and add more sugar if desired.
Also, add more coconut flour (a teaspoon at a time) if the dough is too soft; add a teaspoon or more of almond or oat mlik if the dough is too thick
Shape dough into a rectangular mound, then wrap in plastic wrap or an airtight container, and let the dough set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Slice into bars.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20 second bursts until melted, stirring in between.**
Drizzle the melted chocolate over each protein bar, and let the chocolate set
Enjoy!

Notes

*I used a plant-based protein powder in this recipe, but other protein powders should work, too. If using unsweetened protein powder, you'll need to add more sugar or sweetener.

**the unsweetened applesauce can be subbed with mashed bananas or pumpkin puree
