- Baking Powder – 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder.
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Coconut Oil – 4 tablespoons of organic softened coconut oil. Mine is by the brand Prozis.
- Greek Yogurt – 4 tablespoons of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt.
- Eggs – 2 eggs
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Protein – 30g protein powder, optional for a high protein version
For the Frosting:
- 4 oz. organic cream cheese (softened)
- 15g vanilla protein – Code KATIE20 for 20% off truvani protein or KATIE10 for 10% off Prozis protein.
- Sprinkle of monk fruit sweetener
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-3 tsp unsweetened almond milk
How To Make Them
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the almond flour, protein powder, monk fruit, baking powder, and salt.
- Add in the eggs, coconut oil, Greek yogurt & vanilla extract. Mix until smooth (it will be a thick batter).
- Spread the batter evenly in your baking dish. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. The center should be puffed up and the edges should be golden. Cool completely.
- In the meantime, make your frosting. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, protein powder, vanilla extract, and a few tsp of almond milk as needed until you get your desired frosting consistency. Add a sprinkle of monk fruit if you want it to be sweeter.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled bars. Slice into 16 squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes & enjoy!
