My sister made these and they were sooo good I had to try it! With a couple adaptations to the original recipe, we made these lower in sugar and higher in protein without jeopardizing the flavor and texture! Honestly, 10/10 recommend.
I eat these for weight loss and healthy weight maintenance by cutting them into half sized bars and having it as an intentional snack between meals if I have a larger gap between meals and need something to hold me over or I make them my “something sweet” after dinner! Absolutely delicious and do the job of dessert with a warm cup of tea at the end of the night.

- Transfer to the fridge to set for ~30 minutes. Slice into desired sized bars. Store in the fridge!
