Notes
Any butter and sugar will work for the snickerdoodle protein bar recipe. I prefer a local dairy-free butter to scale back on harmful oils.
Butter is what helps give the snickerdoodle flavor. so, though coconut oil will work it will also alter the flavor.
Make it paleo: to make the dairy-free protein bars paleo, make sure to use coconut palm sugar and cassava flour in the recipe along with regular butter. Likewise, you’ll need a paleo-approved protein powder.
Gluten-free 1:1 baking flour can be subbed for cassava flour.
The bars are delicious as soon as you make them but don’t hold together as well until they set.
