Forgive the hyperbolic name I've given to this bar. I am just in a state of intense wonderment. WHAT ON EARTH? I took the basic scaffold of the
Propane Bar and set it on fire. See, I decided not to use oats or quinoa flakes (or any type of grain for that matter); I wanted to use freshly made brazil nut butter and not peanut butter; I used casein as the primary protein powder + a tiny bit of (orange) whey and also... I used beans (!) This recipe goes to show you can literally do whatever you want with your protein bars :-) Without further ado, here's the recipe :-)))))))) In a bowl, mix
70g of unsalted cooked black beans + 32g of chocolate casein protein powder + 12g ground almonds + 5g of orange whey protein powder +5g of coconut flour + 13g of brazil nut butter + 10g of goji berries. Mix it all with 2tbsps of coconut milk. Use your hands. Make rectangles. Dip them in melted 90% chocolate (23g's worth of chocolate). Freeze them. GO. CRAZY. It yielded two good sized bars which were soft, scrumptious, silky, succulent, heeeeeeeeeavenly! Macros per bar: 280kcals, 22g protein, 13g carbos, 15g fat and 4.5g fiber! AAA!!! :-))))))))))))

ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome!! I just found your blog from bb.com and it just might be my new favorite! I don't have any coconut flour right now what would you suggest as a good alternative??
ReplyDeleteHi, awesome recipe.. I'm making these today! Hoe did you cook the black beans? I know there are different ways.
ReplyDeleteHi! No, I didn't cook them; I bought them canned and they come already cooked so no need to cook them; just make sure they unsalted :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha I forgot to check back to see what you said about the beans.. I just cooked fresh ones! Took for ever and they were a pain to mix. lol Next time around it is canned all the way! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, are the gluten free?
ReplyDeleteThis recipes looks amazing but I was wondering what the conversion from grams to cups is... or are you measuring this as grams by weight. I looked in my kitchen and I have nothing that measures closely to grams in volume. Thanks for your help!
