Instructions
 

  1. Add all ingredients into a food processor except the non-dairy milk, dried blueberries, and ½ of the pumpkin seeds.
  2. Pulse until a uniform mixture is formed. Then add the plant milk 1-2 tbsp at a time until a wet cookie dough consistency is reached.
  3. Remove the mixture from the food processor and place it into a bowl with the dried blueberries and remaining pumpkin seeds. Mix with a spatula until everything is evenly dispersed.
  4. Press the mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8” baking dish.
  5. Place the baking dish in the freezer for 15-30 minutes.
  6. Slice the bars and enjoy!
  7. Store in the refrigerator to maintain firmness.

More Tips

  • Not Vegan? Use a whey-based protein powder or regular chocolate chips.
  • Gluten-Free? You're in luck! These plant-based protein bars are also gluten-free! Just double check your choice of protein if you switch it up.
  • If the mix feels too dry, add a splash more coconut milk. Too wet? Stir in more flax
  • Don’t leave them out too long—they’re best cold and will soften at room temperature.
