Notes
- Any butter and sugar will work for the snickerdoodle protein bar recipe. I prefer a local dairy-free butter to scale back on harmful oils.
- Butter is what helps give the snickerdoodle flavor. so, though coconut oil will work it will also alter the flavor.
- Make it paleo: to make the dairy-free protein bars paleo, make sure to use coconut palm sugar and cassava flour in the recipe along with regular butter. Likewise, you’ll need a paleo-approved protein powder.
- Gluten-free 1:1 baking flour can be subbed for cassava flour.
- The bars are delicious as soon as you make them but don’t hold together as well until they set.
