Ingredients
1 cup tahini (sesame paste)
1/2 cup melted coconut oil
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup chocolate plant-based protein powder (almond or pea protein)
1/4 cup water or plant-based milk (to adjust texture)
Instructions
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Whisk tahini, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl.
Mix cocoa powder and protein powder in a separate bowl.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. Add water as needed to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
Slice into 12 even bars and store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Adjust sweetness with additional maple syrup if desired.
For a nut-free version, ensure the protein powder is nut-free.
Chilling is essential for clean slices and optimal texture.
