✨ Recipe: Protein Peanut Butter Jell-O Chocolate Squares ✨

Ingredients:

Makes 4-6 Squares depending on the size of tray

1.5 cups of organic oats (finer oats works better)
1 sachet of Clean Lean Chocolate Protein
1 tablespoon of dark raw cacao
1 whole organic egg
1/3 cup of date paste
1/3 cup of chopped macadamia nuts
1 tablespoon of almond butter
3 tablespoons of desiccated coconut
Pinch of cinnamon
1/3 to 1/2 cup of water (or nut milk)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions:

Mix the above ingredients together thoroughly until they reach a dough-like consistency.
Flatten out into your small square tray (I used a 12x12cm sized tray) and pop into the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes.
Once 3 minutes has passed, turn out the square-shaped mould onto a large board. It should not stick and just pop out. If it’s still a bit too moist, you can microwave it for another 30 seconds; or for a lightly toasted version, pop it back for 3 minutes on grill setting. Alternatively, for an even crunchier version, you can bake it in the oven for around 8 to 10 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius.
Turn over once ready and allow to cool before cutting and spreading your Peanut-Butter-Jell-O toppings onto the squares.
