Ingredients
- ¾ cup Vanilla vegan protein powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅔ cup almond butter runny
- 2 tbs blackstrap molasses
- 2 tbs maple syrup
- 2 tbs Almond milk as needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the protein powder and spices.
- Add in the almond butter, molasses, and maple syrup one by one.
- Stir well and slowly add in the almond milk a tablespoon as a time as needed.
- Mix and press the batter down. You want as little milk as possible in there. Ideally, you want a semi-dry dough that holds together.
- Portion the batter into a silicone baking loaf and use a fork or silicone spatula to press it down smoothly.
- Pop it into the fridge for 30 minutes to set before slicing into rectangles.
Notes
- The protein bars can be eaten as soon as you make them. However, they thicken up after sitting in the fridge for an hour or so making them easier to hold.
- The amount of almond milk you need will depend on the protein powder you choose (notes below). You want the batter to be semi-dry and not crazy sticky. But it does need to hold together.
- Store the gingerbread bars in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
- Freeze the protein bars in a reusable baggie or airtight container for up to three months. simply let them thaw in the fridge before consuming.
- Meal prep the bars by storing them individually wrapped in parchment paper for grab-and-go days.
