Chocolate Raspberry Crumble Bars – Vegan

These decadent bars have a rich chocolate raspberry filling. Oh, I promise they're decadently yummy! But more importantly, they're chock full of superfood nutrition, such as cacao nibs, protein powder, and chia seeds. This recipe is high-protein, high-Omega-3 that goes easy on your blood sugar. The crust uses chia seeds as a binder, however you can substitute egg if you prefer. Chocolate does contain caffeine, which may keep children (and adults) awake at night.
