Natural Cashew Protein Bars

Easy and delicious protein bars that are made with natural proteins.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Servings: 16 bars

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups raw cashews
  • 1 cup dates - pitted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 egg whites
  • Optional - 1/2 cup dried egg whites +2 tablespoons water - this raise the protein in these bars but isn't necessary.
  • Optional - 2 tablespoons honey - if you want these sweeter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In a blender or using a food processor, add the cashews, dates, vanilla, coconut oil, cinnamon, salt, egg whites and if using dried egg whites add them with 2 tablespoons water and honey if using it.
  • Blend and pulse until smooth.
  • Pour onto a parchment paper or a lined or greased cookie sheet and spread out evenly into a large square that is about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until bars feel slightly firm, they will firm up more once out of the oven.
  • Slice into desired bars, I usually do 12 large squares,
  • You do not need to refrigerate these but it will improve the shelf life. I also freeze them in individual bags.
