Notes
Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
This recipe calls for vegan protein powder. I do not advise using whey protein in place of the vegan protein, as whey often dries out when baking. You can follow the recipe below and omit the protein powder completely if needed:
- 2 bananas
- 2 tbsp. chia seeds
- ½ cup dairy free milk
- 2/3 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup cacao powder
- ¼ cup maple syrup or coconut sugar (maple syrup with make them fudgier)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
- ¼-1/2 cup chocolate chips (dairy free)
