Equipment
- Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup sub honey
- 1/4 cup vegan vanilla protein powder
- 1 small apple diced
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1 bar dark chocolate
Instructions
Peanut Butter Layer
- Mix together the runny peanut butter and maple syrup. Then add in the vegan vanilla protein powder until you get a dough like texture. Each protein powder and peanut butter is different so add in the protein 1 tablespoon at a time
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil. Press the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of the pan in an even layer
Apple Layer
- In a saute pan, add 1 teaspoon coconut oil, cinnamon and diced apples on low to medium heat. Cook until soft.
- Add the apples on top of the peanut butter layer in an even layer. Lightly press the apples down into the peanut butter layer.
Chocolate Layer
- In a bowl, add the chocolate bar broken up with the last 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in increments of 30 seconds and stir after each one. Be sure to just melt it enough and not too much to prevent burning. Should be between 1 to 1:30 minutes.
- Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the apple layer. Use a spatula to make sure it is even across the apples.
- Place in the freezer for at least an hour. Cut into 12 squares and keep in a freezer safe container!
