I’m pretty sure the only meal prep I’ve ever been interested in is the one that provides me with delicious treats for the week…
I’ll keep this short and snappy today because I’m busy and I know you are, too! But these gluten-free, no bake Funfetti Protein Squares have been fueling me all week when I need it most and are also boyfriend approved 🙂
They’re perfect for a quick breakfast, afternoon snack, or even dessert. The almond extract is key for making these taste more like funfetti, but I’m sure they’re great without it, too. Otherwise, just use a protein powder that doesn’t *taste* like protein powder and you’re golden! I love the ones from Ancient Nutrition and Tone It Up best. Now let’s get into it…
Funfetti Protein Squares
2 cups oat flour (or pulse oats in a blender!)
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/2 cup vanilla protein (love this one!)
2 tbsp monk fruit or any dry sweetener
pinch sea salt
1/3 cup almond, peanut or cashew butter
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup (or more) of almond milk
natural sprinkles
- Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients from the oat flour to sea salt.
- Add in the nut butter, maple syrup, extracts, and milk, and stir well to combine (i used my hands!). if it’s too dry, add more milk tbsp by tbsp.
- If not using a glaze, add your sprinkles in here! Or, press down the “dough” in an even layer in the pan, then add the glaze (2 tbsp melted coconut oil + 1 scoop protein + 1-2 tbsp milk) and the sprinkles on top.
- Freeze for at least 30 minutes before cutting and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
That’s it, y’all!! Hope you’re having a great one and I promise I’ll be back with pics of our new apartment very soon.
