CANDICE’S LOW CARB CAKEY PEANUT BUTTER PROTEIN BARS
Candice’s Low Carb Cakey Peanut Butter Protein Bars
These are a bit different from my other protein bar recipe. They have more of a cake like texture. Quite yummy but be sure NOT to over bake or else they become a bit dry since they have very little fat in them. If you use cream they will more then likely be a bit moister then when using either almond milk or water.
Hope you enjoy!
Makes 6 bars
Ingredients:
3/4 cup(60g) whey protein powder, I use Vanilla
1/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons peanut flour, sifted
1/4 cup of natural peanut butter
2 Tablespoons(1oz) unsalted butter
10 drops liquid sucralose
1/4 cup almond milk(or you can use cream or water just adjust nutritional information)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon chopped peanuts (optional, use as a topping)
Chocolate topping:
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup cocoa powder
12 drops liquid sucralose
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350F
Line bottom of 8×8 or 9×9 square baking pan with parchment. If you don’t have parchment you can butter inside of pan.
In a heat proof bowl, heat butter and peanut butter in microwave until melted. About 45 seconds. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and liquid sucralose. Slowly whisk in your melted butter and peanut butter. Last fold in peanut flour, whey, salt and baking powder.
Batter will be VERY sticky!
Spread evenly into your prepared pan. Again batter is sticky so use a spatula to smooth.
Bake at 350 for 10-13 minutes
Let cool in pan completely before adding topping.
To make topping:
Mix cocoa & liquid sucralose with melted butter until smooth.
Spread mixture over your cooled, baked bars.
Top with chopped peanuts now if you are doing so.
Put pan of bars in the refrigerator about 10 minutes to set up.
Cut in to 6 bars.
Bars should be stored in baggie or air tight container in either the refrigerator or freezer.
