Pistachio Protein bars
INGREDIENTS
½ cup nut or seed butter
8 large pitted dates
¼ cup plant milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups rolled oats
½ cup hemp powder (ground hemp seeds)*
¼ cup ground flaxseed
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup pistachios
¼ tsp cardamom
* You can also use single ingredient hemp protein instead of ground hemp seeds, but I use ground hemp seeds.
INSTRUCTIONS
First process you nut or seed butter, dates, and plant milk until smooth.
Add remaining ingredients except for the pistachios in a food processor.
Process until combined and a thick dough is formed. If dough is too moist add some more ground hemp. If dough is too dry add very small amounts of plant milk.
Add pistachios and mix to combine.
Press mixture into a parchment lined pan.
Place in the freezer for 1 hour. Cut into 6 pieces.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
Enjoy!
