DIY Chocolate Protein Bars. I used a little stevia to keep the carbs and sugar lower but also sweetened with dates and sugar because I'm not a huge fan of artificial tasting ingredients like stevia. If you don't mind stevia, or want to reduce the sugar and carbs, go ahead and double the amount of stevia and drop the dates and sugar from the recipe. If you hate stevia, double the sugar and dates. I think I managed to strike a nice balance with this recipe as my boyfriend hates stevia and never noticed. These taste a little like brownies according to him.
Soak pitted dates in almond milk to soften.
Pulse oats into flour using blender.
Mix in remaining dry ingredients.
Blend date and almond milk in blender and add to dry ingredients.
Stir in peanut butter.
Add another tbsp milk if mixture is too dry. It should be a little crumbly though.
Coat hands with coconut oil and mix ingredients with hands.
Coat square cake pan with coconut oil and press mixture into dish.
Use the back of a spoon to really pack the mix.
