Sastojci

2 cups Puffed Cereals (I used puffed quinoa)

1.9 oz Protein Powder (equivalent to 2 scoops)

1/2 cup Peanut Butter (Unsalted)

1/2 cup Brown Rice Syrup

1 ½ oz Dark Chocolate

1 teaspoon Coconut Oil

Upute

Line an 8-inch square pan and cover with parchment paper. Slightly oil the paper with coconut oil. Set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl, stir the puffed cereals and protein powder until well combined. Set aside.

In another bowl, combine the peanut butter and syrup - microwave for 30 seconds if it's difficult to stir together.

Pour the liquid ingredients onto the cereal bowl and stir to combine. If too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of melted coconut oil or extra peanut butter.

Press down firmly the cereal mixture into the pan in an even layer using the back of a silicone spoon or lightly oiled hands.

In another bowl, add dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave until fully melted and pour over the bar.

Place the baking tray in the fridge until the chocolate layer is firm and hard - you can also freeze it for 10-12 minutes to make this process faster.

Remove from the fridge and pull out the bar from the tray using the hanging pieces of parchment paper on the side.

Cut into 8 bars on a chopping board and store them for up 1 week in the fridge in an airtight container.
