Gluten-free, grain-free protein bars that make the perfect post-workout snack.
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Total Time:20 minutes
Yield:8 bars 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato (approx 2 medium)
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 eggs
1/3 cup nut butter
1/3 cup plain yogurt (I used whole milk)
1/2 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
Optional: chocolate chips to melt and drizzle.
Instructions
Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. (For a completely smooth batter you could use a blender but I just mash everything with a fork.)
Add baking powder and protein powder and stir until well combined.
Pour into a greased 9×9 baking pan (line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal).
Bake at 375 degrees for 13-15 minutes.
Let cool, slice into 8 bars and drizzle with chocolate if desired.
