Protein is essential for building and repairing cells, which ensures that our bodies are performing at their best.
Diana Cosovan, a Nutrition Coach graduate and owner of Jump Fit Training, shares this nutrient-dense and tasty recipe (for which we’ll be forever grateful).
Serves: 5
Ingredients
- 30g prunes
- 30g dates (soak in water for 5 minutes)
- 20g almond meal (or LSA mix)
- 15-20g raw honey (adjust according to your preferences)
- 1 tsp vanilla or cinnamon
- 25g salted caramel or vanilla protein powder
- 50g peanut butter (or any nut butter)
- 15g chia seeds
- 60g rolled oats
- Approx. 50-60ml of water (adjust according to the smoothness of the nut butter)
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C (fan-forced)
- Combine all dry ingredients in a food processor (for a few seconds)
- Add remaining ingredients, and add water gradually (you may need more or less water to achieve a moist consistency)
- Spoon the mixture into a muffin tray (lined with paper muffin cups)
- Bake for 20-25 minutes (or until a skewer comes out clean)
- Let the tray stand for 5 minutes
- Place on a wire rack to cool
Oh, what’s next? Nothing, we’re done! Grab a peanut butter cup and enjoy.
