Fabulous Fibre Bars

When you can't have sweets, life can be rather dull. These bars are often mistaken for brownies. They are very delicious. They're not something you'd want to eat a lot of if you're looking to lose weight: with honey and dates in them they are still fairly carb-rich. But if you're looking for a dessert to keep in the house that will make your tummy happy, these are IT.

Fibre Bars
3/4 cup ground flax seeds
1/3 cup tahini (sesame butter)
1/3 cup almond butter
1/3 cup mushy dates
1/3 cup protein powder
1/2 cup Cocoa powder
1/4 cup honey
 2 1/2 Tbsp. extra-virgin coconut oil (you can use butter if you cannot find this)
 1 Tsp. vanilla extract.
Blend wet ingredients together first. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature or coconut oil will get stiff and become difficult to blend. Then add protein powder, fibre, and cocoa last.  Press into a greased 9” x 9” pan and refrigerate, covered. After an hour, slice into squares and store in Tupperware. Will last two weeks in fridge.
