Protein Samoa Squres
Description
There are few things that are as nostalgic as a Samoa Girl Scout Cookie. It’s one of my favorite flavor combinations when it comes to a dessert. Y’all know that one of my favorite things to do is turn some of my favorite classic sweet treats, into a homemade recipe with a little extra protein as long as it does *not* compromise the flavor or texture…and we did it with these Protein Samoa Bars!
This is a no bake recipe, it just requires a bit of chill time in the freezer and lots of fun layering throughout the process. These are great to batch and keep in the freezer to whip out if you are in need of a little night cap sweet treat.
Ingredients
Protein Cookie Crust
Peanut “Caramel”
Chocolate
Instructions
- Line a square baking dish with parchment paper, with extra sides so you can easily lift the bars out of the dish once it’s set. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add all of the protein cookie crust ingredients (unsweetened coconut flakes, almond flour, protein powder & coconut oil) mix together until fully combined and then transfer to bottom of the baking dish. Use your hands to press down so it sits firmly in the baking dish.
- Freeze the crust or at least 10 minutes while you prepare the next peanut caramel layer.
- In a medium bowl, add all of the “caramel” ingredients (peanut butter, coconut oil, shredded coconut, maple syrup and vanilla) and mix until fully combined. Fold in the shredded coconut last.
- Remove the baking dish from the freezer and spread the caramel evenly overtop the crust. Put the dish back into the freezer for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the melted chocolate.
- Over the stove or in microwave intervals (60 seconds each) – melt the dark chocolate chips. Once the 10 minutes is up in the freezer, pour the melted chocolate on top of the caramel layer until covered completely. Sprinkle with extra coconut shreds and flaky salt.
- Pop back into the freezer for at least an hour before cutting into squares and serving – this will allow the chocolate to fully set. Ideally, let it set overnight in the freezer!
- Store in the freezer for long term storage or in the fridge if you plan on enjoying them immediately.
