Vegan, Gluten-Free Protein Crunch Bars
The Nourished Bite
Ingredients:
- 2 cups rice puffs cereal (be sure the brand is gluten-free and vegan, I love Freedom Foods)
- ⅓ cup natural smooth peanut butter
- 2 tbsp plant-based vanilla protein powder
- Pinch salt
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp rice malt syrup (can substitute with pure maple syrup)
- A block of vegan dark chocolate
Method:
- Line a tin with baking paper (I used a medium loaf tin)
- In a mixing bowl, add rice puffs, peanut butter, protein powder, salt, tahini and rice malt syrup
- Mix until thoroughly combined
- Pour mixture in the lined tin and press down with the back of a spoon
- Place in the freezer for an hour or until set hard
- Once set, evenly cut slice
- Melt dark chocolate on the stove or in the microwave
- Using a spoon and moving quickly, pour melted chocolate over each slice. One completed, place back in the freezer to set
- Once set, enjoy!
