Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars
How to Make It
Step
Recipe Steps steps 6 1 h
Step 1
Add the gelatin to a small bowl and pour the room-temperature water over it. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Add the boiling water and whisk until the gelatin granules have dissolved.
Step 2
To a food processor, add the peanut butter, cream cheese, protein powder, powdered sweetener, and gelatin mixture. Pulse until uniform. The mixture shouldn’t be too thin; it must be pressed together.
Step 3
Transfer the peanut butter dough to a parchment-lined 20x20cm (8”x8”) dish. Press into the dish until level, then cut into 6 bars. Place the dish in the freezer for 30-40 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
Meanwhile, roughly chop the dark chocolate and add it to a microwave-safe bowl with the coconut oil. Once the bars firm up, microwave the chocolate and coconut oil in 30-second intervals until melted through. Allow the chocolate to cool down for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Gently dip each bar into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to gently turn them in the melted chocolate until coated through. Continue coating the rest of the bars.
Step 6
Allow the bars to sit until the chocolate fully sets, or transfer them back to the freezer for another 3-5 minutes. Serve right away. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer with parchment paper between them for up to 2 weeks.
