Ingredients:
- 200g almond flour (or ground almonds)
- 75g smooth peanut butter
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)
- Chocolate chips (optional, to taste)
- 75g Biscoff spread
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, smooth peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup. If you're using chocolate chips, mix them in as well.
- Line a tray or Tupperware container with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the container to form an even layer.
- Melt the Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 15 seconds, or until it reaches a pourable consistency. Be careful not to overheat.
- Pour the melted Biscoff spread over the base layer, spreading it out to cover the surface evenly.
- Place the container in the refrigerator and leave it to set overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and the bars to firm up.
- In the morning, remove the container from the fridge and cut the set mixture into bars. Based on the total protein content, aim to make about 8-9 bars to ensure each contains around 7g of protein.
Enjoy your Decadent Biscoff-Topped Protein Bars as a delicious and healthy snack that's easy to make and packed with protein! They're a surefire way to keep your energy levels up and your taste buds happy.
