Healthy-ish Strawberry & White Chocolate Cookie Bars Recipe

A healthy-ish no bake cookie bar recipe with just seven simple and healthy ingredients!

These delicious healthy-ish cookie bars are a super simple no bake recipe. They’re naturally dairy free, egg free and gluten free but you’d never guess as they’re so tasty! The almond flour and vegan protein powder gives the cookies a yummy cookie dough like texture and a light vanilla flavour, with a lovely fruity bite from the strawberry pieces and of course, just enough chocolate topping to make them really indulgent!

These healthy-ish no bake cookie bars are best stored in an airtight container in a cold place and eaten within one week. I use a 2lb loaf tin to make these cookie bars which makes 8-10 scooping bar slices.

Makes around 8-10 slices

Vanilla dough Ingredients;                    

100g almond flour

50g vanilla protein powder

70g nut butter (almond or cashew work well)

60g maple syrup

12g freeze dried strawberry pieces + extra for decoration

1 large white chocolate bar

1 tsp coconut oil

You will also need; 2lb loaf tin, baking paper, mixing bowl, spoon, small microwaveable bowl

How to make your cookie bars;

1. Line your loaf tin with baking paper. This will make it easier to remove the cookie bars from the tin once they're set

2. Add the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup and nut butter into a bowl and mix together to form a thick cookie dough

3. Add the freeze dried strawberries and fold them through the mixture

4. Use your hands to press the mixture evenly down into the lined loaf tin

5. In a small microwavable bowl, add the white chocolate and coconut oil, then gently heat in short bursts stirring in between

6. Spread the melted chocolate on top of the cookie dough and sprinkle over some extra freeze dried strawberry pieces for decoration

7. Pop the loaf tin in the fridge until the chocolate has set

8. Slice the cookie into 8-10 small bars and now they're ready to eat!
