Stages of cooking
-
Line a 9-inch square dish with parchment paper.
-
Combine almonds, dates, carrots, coconut, pineapple pieces, protein powder, almond butter, coconut extract, almond extract, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon in a food processor fitted with the S blade. Attach the lid and pulse, stopping and scraping down the sides as needed, until everything is well combined and a crumbly, yet easily moldable, soft dough forms.
-
Transfer dough to the prepared dish and press it down and smooth it out evenly.
-
Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 1 to 2 hours. Cut into 12 bars and either serve immediately or wrap individually to serve later.
