Tiramisu Protein Bars

Ingredients for the cake part:

1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1/4 cup mocha cappuccino flavoured Whey Protein
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/4 cup gluten-or regular oats (see Note 2 for subs)
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1 teaspoon instant coffee
1/8 cup Total Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Tia Maria (see Note 3)

Ingredients for the filling:

3 heaping tablespoons low-fat mascarpone
1/8 cup vanilla Whey Protein
8 squares 85% dark chocolate

Directions:

1. First, make the ‘cake’ part of the bars by blending the first eight ingredients, i.e. the egg whites, coffee-flavoured whey, cocoa, oats, instant coffee, coconut flour, yogurt, and Tia Maria. Bake the batter in either a bar pan or in a flat brownie pan – ideally silicone so that nothing sticks.

2. Bake at 170 C (338 F) for about 20 minutes or until, when poked with a knife, your knife comes out clean. Pay attention not to overbake here because if you do they’ll turn out dry.

3. Let the cake (or cakes) cool before you cut them into bar shapes and then horizontally slice them in half so you can stuff each bar with your mascarpone filling. For the filing, all you do is mix the mascarpone and whey in a bowl and sandwich that between the cake bars.

4. Finally, melt the chocolate in a bain marie (i.e. a pot on top of a pot of boiling water) and dip your bars in there to coat them. You can use your hands or a spatula. The hands work better though! Because the spatula can make things a bit messy. You can dip the bars by hand and THEN using a spatula (or spoon) to pour the remaining chocolate on top of the bars.

5. Once all the bars are coated, transfer them to the freezer for 40 minutes and they’re ready.

Notes

1. If you don’t have or want to get any latte-flavoured whey, that’s fine. You can use chocolate whey protein powder instead.

2. Feel free to sub the oats for buckwheat if you want to make the bars 100% gluten free.

3. The Tia Maria is optional but adds a subtle hint of booziness to the bars.

4. For the filling, you can use any flavour whey you like. Vanilla works really well but you can use cinnamon or a plain whey protein powder with just some stevia added in to sweeten it.
