Chocolate Coated Peanut Protein Bars

These chocolate coated raw bars are perfect after a workout. With just a handful of ingredients these are super easy to make and ideal for when you want something sweet. I used a dairy free chocolate for the topping to keep this vegan.

What’s good about it?

Coconut flour is a great grain free addition in breads, bars and cookies. High in fibre too it can help support healthy gut flora and digestive health.
