PREP TIME

MINUTES
Ingredients
300g chocolate protein powder (banana or vanilla flavours also work)
160g jumbo porridge oats
70g sunflower seeds
50g dark chocolate, chopped
30g ground almonds
1 banana, peeled and mashed
120ml water
3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
Line a baking tin with parchment paper.
Place all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and use your hands to mash everything to a sticky consistency. This process will take a few minutes and the mixture must not be too wet, so do not panic and throw in more water. Simply keep working the mixture with your hands.
Scrape the mixture into the prepared tin and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
Remove the tin from the freezer and leave to stand for about 30 minutes. Cut the slab into bars and carefully remove from the tin. Store the bars in airtight plastic bags in the freezer. Take them out as needed – just give them a few minutes to defrost before eating.
