When I was younger I loved baking. I loved eating sweets. More specifically peanut butter cookies. Gahaaa!! I still love sweets. Which is why I must find healthier alternatives.

I recently saw Autumn Calabrese share a similar recipe and it gave me inspiration to doctor it up and add a little more to it to make it more of a layered bar with coconut and protein crisps. I made these for the first time the other day and love them so I thought you would too.

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 4 Tbls. Maple Syrup
• 6 Teaspoons of milk or OWYN liquid salted caramel or vanilla protein
• 1 1/2 cup any nut butter…peanut butter. almond butter, Nutz N More flavored protein butters would be fab.

• Sea Salt
• 1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

1. First mix these ingredients: protein powder, almond flour, 1 Tbls coconut oil, 2 Tbls pure maple syrup and 6 Tbls of milk. Put into pan with parchment paper down. I use my hands to press down.
2. Then in separate bowl:
3. 1 1/4 cup peanut butter
4. 1 TBSP coconut oil
5. 2 TBSP Maple Syrup
6. Pinch of sea salt
7. Layer this on top the bottom layer just pressed into pan
8. Freeze for about 30 minutes, then melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 tea coconut oil
9. Drizzle that over the top or cover completely .
10. For an optional crunch I added my crunchy protein pebbles. I know they look like rat poop but they add a little extra crunch
11. The next time I make these I will add unsweetened coconut in one of the layers,
12. Keep in freezer until ready to eat
