Prep Time15 minutes

Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 210kcal

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup blanched creamy almond butter
  • 3 tbsp melted cacao butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar -free liquid monk fruit sweetener or allulose syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 cup vanilla pea protein powder (approximately 55g)
  • 1/4 cup blanched almond flour
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar -free rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line an 8x4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the cacao butter in 30-second intervals until completely liquid.
  • Whisk the almond butter, liquid sweetener, vanilla extract, and almond extract into the melted cacao butter until the mixture is homogenous.
  • Add the vanilla pea protein, almond flour, and sea salt to the wet ingredients. Stir with a stiff spatula until a thick, pliable dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water or almond milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Gently fold in 1.5 tablespoons of the rainbow sprinkles, ensuring they are evenly distributed without color bleeding.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Press firmly and evenly into the corners using a flat-bottomed glass or an offset spatula to create a smooth surface.
  • Top with the remaining sprinkles and press them lightly into the surface of the dough.
  • Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the cacao butter has fully set and the bars are firm to the touch.
  • Lift the parchment paper to remove the slab from the pan and slice into 8 equal rectangular bars using a sharp knife.
