Almond Cookie Dough Energy Bars
My favorite way to re-purpose almond pulp after making homemade almond milk! These taste like cookie dough from the density of the pulp and are loaded with healthy, simple fibrous protein filled ingredients to fuel any part of your day!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup coconut butter it will be hard at first but don’t worry!
- ¼ cup raw maple syrup
- 1 cup raw almond pulp I honestly can’t say I have a perfect substitute if you don’t make your own almond pulp but if you want to try I’d use 3/4cup almond flour mixed with 1/4 cup almond butter to add some moisture and get it into a pulp like texture.
- 1 ½ cup of rolled oats
- ¼ cup of cacao nibs
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp hemp
- 1 tbsp chia
- 1 tbsp ground flax
Instructions
- Warm liquid ingredients: I think everything comes together and forms easiest when liquids are slightly warm so I add butters and syrup to a small sauce pan over low heat to combine until very well incorporated (or microwave).
- Mix with dry ingredients: Add pulp, salt, oats and seeds into a bowl with warmed liquid mixture and mix with your hands to evenly distribute pulp so it’s not too clumpy.
- Shape dough: Add mixture to a square food container lined with parchment paper and flatten with a spatula until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until fully chilled before cutting. Consume within 7 days!
Notes
I prefer keeping these in the fridge but these can also keep in a cool dark pantry for up to 1 week
Get creative by adding in additional “flavors” like shredded coconut, different types of nuts, mini chocolate chips, cinnamon, etc!
