  • Add the milk powder, powdered egg whites, and coconut oil and beat until they begin to mix in. Then, use your hands until all the ingredients are well mixed in and the dough is smooth. It will be thick, a little bit sticky, and soft.
  • Press evenly into the prepared pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  • Slice into 6 bars and DEVOUR!

Tips & Notes:

To make dairy free: Use only 1/4 Cup plus 2 teaspoons honey and sub the dry milk powder for SIFTED (very important) powdered coconut milk.
I have also tried this by omitting all the milk powder and using all egg protein, if you want to make it suitable for a paleo diet, and it works great. It is slightly less sweet, but still very tasty!
Swap in almond butter for paleo.
Use refined coconut oil if you don’t want a coconut taste.
Depending on the temperature of your fridge, your bars may firm up more or less – you can always place them in the freezer if your fridge isn’t cold enough.
