High Protein Birthday Cake Slice

Fast easy protein treat bars that can be made in mere minutes! It's a great easy treat to get kids excited but with sneaky protein packed in. I'm guessing any protein powder will work, but depending on the brand/runny-ness of the almond butter, you made need to add a splash of water or almond milk so that it isn't crumbly and can still be stirred.

No lengthy article or filler words today, you just get the plain and simple recipe. Hope you love it as much as I (and my kids) do!

Recipe:

Yields 2 to 4 servings; double the recipe and use a 8" pan for twice the amount!

Base:

1/4 cup almond butter

2 TBSP pure maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut flour

1 scoop protein powder (I used Truvani vanilla)

Dye-free sprinkles

Topping:

1/4 cup white chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life dairy-free soy-free ones)

2 tsp coconut oil

Dye-free sprinkles (I used ones from Miss Jones but other brands are great too)

Directions:

1. Warm the almond butter and maple syrup until it's slightly runny.

2. Stir in the other ingredients and press into a small glass pan lined with parchment paper. Chill until firm.

3. Melt the white chocolate and sprinkle on sprinkles, and chill until chocolate sets before cutting the bar.

   Note: if you'd like the nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter!
