These Marshmallow Protein Bars are a dairy-free, protein-packed treat made with almond milk, gelatin, and protein powder, finished with a rich dairy-free chocolate coating. They’re soft, chewy, and perfect for a healthy snack or post-workout boost.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp arrowroot starch (for dusting)
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • ⅓ cup gelatin
  • ⅓ cup cane sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp marshmallow root
  • 5.5 tbsp protein powder
  • ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare an 8×8″ baking pan lined with parchment paper and lightly dusted with arrowroot starch. Set aside.
  2. In a medium pot, combine almond milk, gelatin, and cane sugar. Let sit for 4–5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
  3. Place the pot on medium-low heat and whisk gently for 2–3 minutes until the mixture becomes a thick liquid.
  4. Let the mixture cool slightly, then transfer to a stand mixer or use a hand mixer. Whisk on high for 30 seconds.
  5. Add vanilla extract, marshmallow root, and protein powder. Continue whisking on high for 2–3 minutes until thick and fluffy.
  6. Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until set and springy.
  7. Remove from the pan and slice into 10 bars using a knife coated in arrowroot starch. Trim edges if desired and place bars on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  9. Cool slightly, then dip the bottom of each bar into the melted chocolate and drizzle chocolate on top.
  10. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use unflavored or vanilla-flavored protein powder for best taste.
  • Cane sugar can be substituted with coconut sugar, though it may change the color.
  • Store bars in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Marshmallow root adds traditional flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
