Homemade Built Puff Protein Bars
Homemade Built Puff Protein Bars are pillowy marshmallow clouds coated in chocolate! It's hard to believe they're made with such simple ingredients and can be made dairy-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free (if you want it to be), and—best part—only needs a handful of ingredients! We are leveling up snack time!
Ingredients
- 2 cups protein shake of choice
- 4 tbsp grass-fed gelatin
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract & pinch of sea salt
- 1-2 scoops of your favorite protein powder (optional)
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or avocado oil
Instructions
- Add the protein shake, vanilla, (and maple syrup if using) to a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Let bloom for 5-10 minutes. Then place on the oven on low and whisk the mixture periodically until it thickens a bit.
- Pour this mixture into the bowl of your stand mixer and let cool for 5-10 minutes - it should be warm but not super hot.
- Turn the mixer on low at first then turn to high after a minute or so, letting it whip for 10-20 minutes until it is thick enough to resemble marshmallow fluff. Add in the protein and whip a little longer. Careful not to over-whip or it'll get too thick. When you remove the whisk from the bowl, it should stick to it but still be drippy.
- Pour the mixture into a lined loaf pan. Place in the fridge to firm up for an hour or two.
- Once firm, remove the parchment paper from the pan. Cut the marshmallow mixture into bars. Melt chocolate in a small bowl with the coconut oil until smooth.
- Dip each bar and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place back in the fridge for an hour or so or the freezer for 30 minutes before moving to an air-tight container. Store in the fridge.
