HIGH PROTEIN GRANOLA BARS

I love a good grab-and-go snack but store bought granola bars are often lower in protein. Try this little recipe for a homemade, high protein and zero-packaging alternative.

Ingredients 

​

• 1 cup ground almonds

• 1 cup rolled oats

• ½ cup nut butter (my fav is almond hazelnut), room temperature 

• ½ cup shredded coconut 

• 4 medjool dates

• 2 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 tbsp maple syrup 

• 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted

​

​

Instructions 

​

1. Line a pan with parchment paper

2. Remove seeds from dates and purée in blender (or bullet) with a few tablespoons of water.

3. Add date purée to a large bowl and then add all other ingredients (use your hands in necessary)

4. Press onto pan in a rectangular shape and let cool in fridge

5. Once the granola is cooled, slice into bars and enjoy!
