Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add allulose and stir continuously until it dissolves and starts to bubble and caramelize (about 4–6 minutes — it will turn golden brown).
  2. Slowly whisk in heavy cream (it will bubble up). Add vanilla and salt. Simmer gently 2–3 minutes until thickened slightly. Remove from heat.
  3. Let cool 2–3 minutes, then stir in protein powder and almond flour until smooth (batter will be thick and sticky). Fold in nuts if using.
  4. Pour into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan (or loaf pan for thicker bars). Smooth the top and sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.
  5. Refrigerate 1–2 hours until firm. Cut into bars or rectangles and wrap individually in wax paper like in your photo for a classic look. Prep Time: 15 minutes Chill Time: 1–2 hours Total Time: ~2 hours.
