PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

• 2

  In a small bowl, thoroughly mash the canned black beans with a fork until they form a smooth, consistent paste.

• 3

  In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate plant-based protein powder, rolled oats, cooked quinoa, hemp seeds, cacao powder, and sea salt.

• 4

  Add the mashed black beans, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and water to the dry mixture.

• 5

  Stir the ingredients vigorously with a sturdy spoon until a thick, sticky dough forms and all the protein powder is fully absorbed.

• 6

  Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and use the back of a spatula to press it firmly and evenly into the corners.

• 7

  Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the edges are set and slightly firm to the touch while the center remains soft.

• 8

  Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting the parchment and slicing into thick, chewy bars.
