Notes

  • This bars do not taste much like peanut, but it gives them a protein boost! Each bar has around 14 g of protein. The recipe can be adjusted to have more peanut butter, but then you'll need to add more soy milk
  • I am not using any sugar to sweeten the base, but feel free to add 2 tbsp of maple syrup or your favorite sweetener
  • They are healthy and you know exactly what you are eating
  • Coconut oil is not required, but it gives the base a very good texture when they are cooked in the oven
  • Feel free to substitute with other low fat flour
  • I would normally use sukrin peanut flour because it is 100 % peanuts, but they run out in my local store, so I used another brand. Double check that it has no added sugar (the one in the picture do has sugar added :P)
