Yield: 12
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup raw cacao butter
- 1/2 cup raw cashews finely chopped
- 1/2 cup raw almonds finely chopped
- 1/4 cup mulberries
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds (or flax seeds)
- 1/2 cup coconut butter
- 2 tablespoons lucuma powder optional
- 1/2 cup pea protein* sweetened with stevia (my favorite is shown below))
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons honey raw, unfiltered (substitute for agave nectar to create a vegan recipe)
- 1/4 cup goji berries
- 1 tablespoon maca root powder (optional)
- 2 tablespoons raw cacoa powder or nibs (optional)
Directions:
- Melt the cacao butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- In a food processor, combine half of the cashews and half of the almonds, all of the mulberries, hemp seeds, coconut butter, lucuma powder, protein powder*, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Remove cacao butter from heat and add honey to the saucepan.
- Slowly pulse nuts and powder mixture in food processor while adding the melted cacao butter and honey in a steady stream. The mixture will form a dough-like texture.
- Remove dough from processor and place in a bowl. Add remaining nuts, goji berries, and cacao nibs. Dough should be very thick. However, if it is too thick to mix, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the mixture combines, but remains very thick.
- Press dough into a 13x9-inch baking dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Cut into bars.
- Note: For chocolate protein bars, either use chocolate protein powder* or add 2 tablespoons of cacao powder in step 5.
Notes:
A protein bar that's incredibly healthy, easy to make, and provides the energy we demand as Brain Warriors.
