See the below image of list of ingredients for making protein bar recipe.

how to roast chana dal and seeds

 

    1. To make chana dal protein bar recipe, in a broad non-stick pan, add 1 cup roasted chana dal. Chana dal is a rich source of plant-based protein, making it an excellent choice for a protein bar recipe. Protein helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied, making these bars a great snack option between meals. 

    2. Add 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are rich in unsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health. They are packed with essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc, iron, and antioxidants.

    3. Add 2 tbsp sunflower seeds. Sunflower seeds are a good source of plant-based protein, contributing to the overall protein content of the bars and making them more filling and satisfying

    4. Add 2 tbsp flax seeds. Flax seeds are an excellent source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). These healthy fats are essential for heart health, brain function, and reducing inflammation.

    5. Add 2 tbsp chia seeds. Chia seeds have a high mucilage content, meaning they absorb liquid and form a gel-like substance. This helps bind the ingredients together, giving the bars a better texture and preventing them from crumbling

    6. Add 2 tbsp sesame seeds. Sesame seeds enhance the nutritional profile of your protein bars, add a delicious nutty flavor, and improve their overall texture.

    7. Dry roast them on a medium flame for 5 minutes, while stirring continuously.

    8. Remove in a plate.

    9. Cool the mixture completely.

how to proceed to make Chana dal Protein bar

 

    1. Transfer the mixture into a mixer jar.

    2. Blend into a fine powder. Use a high-speed blender or food processor to ensure a smooth and even mixture.

    3. Add 1/3 cup black dates. Dates provide natural sweetness, eliminating the need for added sugar. They act as a natural binder, holding the mixture together to form cohesive bars.

    4. Blend again.

    5. Remove the mixture into a deep bowl.

    6. Add ½ tsp cardamom powder. Cardamom powder adds a warm, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavor to the Chana Dal Protein Bars.

    7. Add 1/2 cup unsweetened protein powder. Chana dal itself provides protein, but adding protein powder significantly increases the overall protein content of the bars. By incorporating unsweetened protein powder, you can create a more nutritious and satisfying protein bar that supports your fitness goals and provides a convenient and healthy snack option.

    8. Mix well.

    9. Add 1 cup peanut butter. Peanut butter acts as a natural binder, helping to hold the mixture together and improve the bar's texture and consistency. Check our step by step recipe for making homemade peanut butter with zero sugar and coconut oil used. 

    10. Add 2 tsp coconut oil to it. Coconut oil can help create a slightly softer and more chewy texture in the bars, making them more enjoyable to eat.

    11. Mix very well with your hands to make a soft dough.

    12. Put the mixture into a parchment paper lined rectangular glass tin of 7 inches by 12 inches or any tin of your choice.

    13. Spread the mixture evenly using a spatula. We will get a 1 inch thick bar.

    14. Sprinkle the roasted flax seeds over it.

    15. Pat it gently with a spatula.

    16. Cover with a cling wrap.

    17. Refrigerate it overnight until it's completely set.

    18. Once set, cut it into 14 equal bar size pieces.

    19. Serve the fudgy peanut butter protein bar using dates immediately. 

pro tips to make Chana dal Protein bar

 

    1. Use soft, pitted black dates for easier blending. If they're hard, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes to soften.

    2. You can add a mix of chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts or pistachios for extra protein, healthy fats, and crunch.

    3. Experiment with spices like cinnamon, vanilla extract, cardamom, or nutmeg for a flavor kick.

    4. Store the bars in an airtight container or just cling wrap the tin and put it in the refrigerator and use as an when required up to a week.
