Vegan Peanut Butter Protein Fudge
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-natural peanut butter
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
Preparation
Grab a large bowl and add the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir until a smooth mixture forms. If the peanut butter is not runny, microwave it first. Add the protein powder and stir until combined.
Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the pan, spread it evenly with a spoon, and sprinkle the dark chocolate chips on top. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set for 4-6 hours or until hardened.
Remove the fudge from the refrigerator, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper, and slice it into squares or bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Notes
Peanut butter may offer health benefits, including reducing the risk of death by up to 21% and heart disease by 38%, due to its oleic acid content which helps maintain good cholesterol, blood sugar, and blood pressure.
