Equipment

Ingredients

Optional

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • sea salt to sprinkle

Instructions

  • Line a 9x13” pan with parchment paper and set it aside (23 x 33cm).
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, and cocoa powder and mix well. Set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, combine the peanut butter, and agave syrup. Heat gently, and stir until melted together. 
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Then slowly add milk until a thick but shapeable batter forms. Add more milk if needed.
  • Transfer to a lined baking dish and press firmly into place. In another clean microwave-safe bowl melt chocolate with coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate is melted. Pour over the dough and drizzle with sea salt.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is hardened. Cut into squares or rectangles of the desired size and enjoy!

Notes

*Instead of a 9x13 inch use an 8x8 inch baking tray (20cm) for thicker bars.
 
Storage: You can store these either at room temperature in an air-tight container for around 5 days. Or keep them stored in an air-tight container in the fridge, where they will keep well for several weeks when stored air-tight and properly.
Freezing: Store in a freezer-safe and air-tight container or bag, where they keep fresh for up to 3 to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
