PREPARATION TIME: 20-30 minutes
SERVES: 6-8 bars

Ingredients

For the base:

1 x can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 scoops vegan vanilla protein powder
2 tablespoons Natvia 100% Natural Sweetener
2 tablespoons oat milk

For the middle:

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon Natvia 100% Natural Sweetener
2 tablespoons peanut butter

For the topping:

3 tablespoons Natvia 100% Natural Sweetener
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon smooth nut butter
Granola, to sprinkle over

Method

First make the base: Blend the chickpeas, protein powder, Natvia 100% Natural Sweetener and oat milk until thick and smooth and forms a cookie dough texture. Press into individual silicone molds to fill up to ⅓.
Melt the coconut oil and nut butter then stir in the Natvia 100% Natural Sweetener. Spoon over the base of each one to cover then chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
Mix together the icing sugar, cocoa powder, nut butter and a dash of water/enough to create a thick but slightly runny chocolate texture.
Spoon over the top of each peanut butter layer to fill to the top. Sprinkle over granola then chill for at least 1 hour.
Pop out of the mold when ready to eat and enjoy!
