Description
Delicious and nutritious bars that mimic the classic Reese’s candy but with a healthier twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups oat flour
- ⅓ cup vanilla protein powder or almond flour
- 3–4 tbsp granulated sweetener
- ½ cup peanut butter or nut butter of choice
- ½–1 cup milk of choice
- ½ cup chocolate for coating
Instructions
- Prepare Your Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder (or almond flour), and your chosen sweetener. Stir well to ensure these dry ingredients are blended.
- Incorporate Nut Butter: Add the peanut butter to the dry mixture. Use a spatula to mix until well-combined, creating a thick texture.
- Create Your Dough: Gradually add milk, beginning with ¼ cup, mixing well. Continue to add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, until you form a firm dough that can hold its shape.
- Shape the Bars: Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture into your hands, rolling it into your preferred shape. This recipe makes about 18 mini bars or egg shapes, but feel free to adjust as you like.
- Chill: Place your shaped bars onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the Chocolate: Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the chocolate until smooth. Stir regularly to prevent burning.
- Coat the Bars: Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully covered. Use a fork to help lift them out and place them back on the lined baking tray. Repeat until all bars are coated.
- Set and Enjoy: Place in the fridge for 10–15 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Savor every delightful bite of your homemade bars!
