Vegan and gluten free Lotus Biscoff protein bars.
Where do I start with these- three layers of deliciousness!
- Base– Medjool dates, protein powder, rolled oats, coconut oil, cinnamon
- Centre– Lotus Biscoff spread (it needs nothing else)
- Top– Creamy dark chocolate ganache
I really wanted to make a decadent protein bar, something you really want to eat, a proper treat!! Each bar contains 6g protein, double what it would be if just oats were used! I used PhD plant diet protein in salted caramel flavour for this recipe.

They are really simple to make and require no actual baking. All you will need is a good food processor to break down the dates and combine the base ingredients into a thick dough. My food processor is a Kenwood MultiPro classic food processor (the image below is linked) it’s a great mid-range food processor and easily makes dates into a paste, needed for lots of no bake recipes.
