Mocha protein bar recipe

[schema type=”recipe” name=”Mocha protein bar recipe” author=”Rachel Howard” pubdate=”2017-05-29″ image=”http://www.sundaybaking.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Mocha-protein-bar-3.jpg” description=”A delicious high protein bar flavoured with chocolate and coffee” prepmins=”10″ cookmins=”15″ yield=”6″ ]

Well this is something a little different and it’s not even really a ‘bake’ as the oven isn’t even turned on for these!

I had a little time to kill yesterday afternoon but couldn’t be bothered to go to the shop for any ingredients. So I had a look at what was in the cupboard and then at some recipes that I had previously saved, and this one came up.

I’m not a regular eater of the protein bar as I try to get most of my protein from ‘real’ foods rather than powder, but these looked pretty simple and didn’t have too many ingredients so I thought I’d give them a a go.

Mocha-protein-bar-1

They were so easy to make….

[callout title=Ingredients]

  • 60g unflavoured whey protein powder
  • 30g coconut flour
  • 30g ground almonds
  • 14g unsweetened cacao powder
  • 20g coconut sugar
  • 60g espresso (freshly brewed and cooled)
  • 50g dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 50g dark chocolate

[/callout]

Method:

  • Mix together all the dry ingredients
  • Add chocolate chips (if using). I also sprinkled in some cinnamon.
  • Stir in the cooled coffee
  • Mix well
  • Divide into 6 pieces
  • Shape into bars and place in the fridge to cool
  • Melt the dark chocolate.
  • Dip the bars into the melted chocolate to coat the bottom and sides
  • Drizzle the top of the bar with the remaining dark chocolate
  • Leave in the fridge to set

It’s as easy as that. And you could add anything you like to tailor these bars to your taste…..dried fruit, nuts, or a mixture of both! Anything that goes well with coffee really.

Mocha-protein-bar-2

They are so gooey and delicious. I’m not really one for anything too sweet anymore, but if your have a sweet tooth you could always add a bit of sweetener.

These are great if you need a little something on the go or after the gym and they’ll fill you up for a while too!

Mocha-protein-bar-4

I’ll be making some different varieties of these soon. My only comment would be that the coffee I used wasn’t particularly strong so I’ll have to work on making it a bit stronger for these so the taste really comes through.

Welcome to Sunday Baking! I started this blog at the start of 2013 and it's taken me on a wonderful journey. A lot has changed in the last few years and you will now see more refined sugar free recipes (although don't worry....if you have a sweet tooth I will still be featuring regular sweet stuff too!).
I no longer post every Sunday, but the recipes I do post are 100% worth trying - if you sign up below I will email you every time I add a new recipe!
Happy Baking!
