Snickers-style protein bars

Ingredients

Background:

• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1/3 cup nuts of your choice
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 1 tablespoon cocoa
• 1 tablespoon chocolate protein
• 60 ml vegetable milk or water
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Cream and frosting:

• 250 g cottage cheese or yoghurt
• 3 Medjool dates
• 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter (adjust to your taste)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla or caramel protein
• 100 g dark chocolate
• 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Method

1. In a blender, blend oats, nuts, almond butter, cocoa, chocolate protein, plant milk and maple syrup until smooth. Transfer the finished mixture to a baking tray lined with baking paper.
2. In a blender, blend cottage cheese or yogurt, dates and peanut butter. Add the protein and mix again.
3. Spread the cream evenly over the base in the mould. Place the mould in the freezer to allow the cream to set nicely.
4. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil in a water bath or in the microwave. Let cool slightly.
5. Pour the melted chocolate as a top layer over the slightly stiffened cream. Place the whole thing back in the freezer and let set for at least 3 hours or overnight.
