Recipe for Protein Date Bars
Ingredients for the base and filling:
-
16 soft, pitted dates
-
200 g natural skyr yogurt
-
1/4 cup 100% PEANOOT BUTTER Peanut Paste from Good Noot
-
1 scoop of your favorite protein powder (e.g., vanilla or caramel flavored)
-
Handful of peanuts (for sprinkling)
Ingredients for the crunchy topping:
-
1/2 bar dark chocolate
-
1 teaspoon coconut oil
-
Pinch of Himalayan salt (for the perfect flavor contrast)
Step-by-step preparation:
-
Date base: Line a small baking dish or loaf pan with parchment paper. Arrange the dates tightly on the bottom and gently flatten them with your hand or the bottom of a glass, creating a single, compact layer.
-
Protein cream: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the skyr yogurt, 100% PEANOOT BUTTER Peanut Paste, and a scoop of protein powder until you get a smooth, thick mass.
-
Layering: Spread the prepared cream evenly over the date base. Sprinkle the top with a handful of crunchy peanuts, gently pressing them into the filling.
-
Chocolate finish: Break the dark chocolate into pieces and melt it with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave. Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the dessert, and finally, sprinkle with a pinch of Himalayan salt.
-
Chilling: Place the pan in the freezer for about 2 hours, until all layers are perfectly firm. Before serving, remove from the pan and cut into smaller bars with a sharp knife. Enjoy!
