Notes:
  • NUT-FREE: Use tahini or pumpkin seed butter instead of almond butter. Use coconut milk instead of almond milk.
  • NO COCONUT BUTTER: Omit, or use melted chocolate as a drizzle instead.
  • STORAGE: Store in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat. They will be too soft at room temperature.
  • PROTEIN POWDER: This recipe was developed and tested using a plant-based protein powder. Please note that if using a different type of protein powder, results may vary.
