Protein No-Bake Sugar Cookie Bars
These no-bake sugar cookie bars are high protein, vegan, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, and so so tasty!
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashew butter *see notes
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- ⅔ cup +1 tablespoon almond flour
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder of choice **see notes
- splash of vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- ¼ cup frosting of choice OPTIONAL I used a paleo frosting!
Instructions
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together the cashew butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Mix in the dry ingredients until well combined and you have a thick dough. Press the dough into the prepared pan and place in the fridge to set for about 20 min.
- Slice into cookie bars and top with optional frosting and sprinkles. Enjoy!
Notes
*be sure to use a natural cashew butter as you need it to be runny in texture and not thick!
**you may need to use less protein powder and/or almond flour depending on your brand of protein powder and how absorbent it is! Start with less and add more until you get the texture you'd like.
