Notes
* For a vegan version, use your favourite vegan protein powder (I recommend a brown rice blend) ** Honey/agave need to be increased by an extra 1/4 cup *** Depending on the brand of coconut flour and protein you use, you may need more. Adjust accordingly Bars can be kept at room temperature but also freeze beautifully- Simply thaw and consume.
