ABC Energy Bars

By Texaschef11

Ingredients

• 200 grams ABC nut butter (i.e. almond, brazil nut, and cashew or other favourite nut butter)
• 50 grams 100% whey protein powder
• 20 grams 100% pea protein powder
• 60 grams fat-free plain yoghurt
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla bean paste or extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon roasted wattleseed OR the finely grated zest of 1 orange
• 60 grams dark chocolate (70% – 85% cacao)

Preparation

Step 1

Place all the ingredients, excluding the chocolate, into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until combined. If the mixture is a little too dry, add a little more yoghurt to achieve a consistency that can easily be rolled and patted into bars.

Form twelve small bars and place on a tray lined with silicon paper or foil. Place in the refrigerator to firm up for about 20 minutes.

Melt 35 grams of the chocolate in the microwave or in a bowl over gently simmering water. When melted and smooth, take off the heat and stir in the remaining 15 grams of chocolate until melted, smooth and cooled slightly.

Dip the bars into the chocolate and drain off any excess. Place each bar on to the lined tray and allow the chocolate to set.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
