Ingredients 

For the bars:

  • 80 g Tri Blend Select Coffee Caramel from Herbalife Nutrition
  • 100 g vegan butter
  • 80 g brown sugar fine
  • 200 g dates
  • 250 ml almond drink or other plant-based drink
  • 160 g flour whole grain or gluten-free mix
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 100 g walnuts chopped

For the sauce:

  • 50 g vegan butter
  • 100 g brown sugar fine
  • 25 ml almond drink or other plant-based drink
  • ½ Tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • To prepare the bar mixture, cream the vegan butter with the brown sugar.
  • Remove the pits from the dates and finely chop them. Add the chopped dates to a saucepan together with the almond drink and vanilla extract. Boil for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the dates are soft.
  • Add this date mixture to the vegan butter and sugar. Add the flour, baking powder, chopped walnuts and Tri Blend Select Coffee Caramel powder, and mix well.
  • Grease a baking tray with vegan butter, then line it with baking paper.
  • Pour the batter into the tray and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Do the toothpick test: if the toothpick comes out dry, the bars are ready. Otherwise, leave them in the oven for 5-10 more minutes, then let them cool.
  • Add the sauce ingredients to a pan. Heat until the vegan butter is completely melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture close to the boiling point over low heat for 5 minutes, without stirring. Leave the sauce to cool in the fridge to thicken (about 15 minutes). Mix well before pouring it over the bars.
  • Cut the bars and serve them with a little sauce.

Notes

Store the bars in the fridge and add the toffee sauce just before serving to keep them from going soggy. If you don't use Herbalife, swap the Coffee Caramel blend for the same amount of your favourite plant-based protein powder.
