These hybrid protein bars/dessert are perfect for a post-gym snack or for your family dessert! 

Сегодня мы рады поделиться рецептом (на английском языке) веганских протеиновых батончиков. Идея этого рецепта принадлежит Корин Гофф, диетологу из США. Это рецепт сладкого угощения, которое по уровню полезности может соперничать с несладкими блюдами, но в то же время станет любимым лакомством для Вас и Вашей семьи. В рецепте используется минимальное количество сахара, основные ингредиенты богаты белком, поэтому его можно рекомендовать людям ведущим активный образ жизни. 

This recipe is inspired by Corinne Goff's Quinoa Brownies with Peanut Butter Frosting, but slightly adapted for the ingredients available at hand. It's actually quite healthy, with lots of protein, and uses no eggs, dairy or wheat! Here you go:

Ingredients:
Brownies (bottom layer)
1 cup cooked quinoa (remember, quinoa expands when you cook it quite a bit so just start with 1/2 a cup when dry!)
1 cup pitted dates, soaked for at least 15-20 minutes in hot water to soften them a bit
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)
3 tablespoons coconut milk 

Stir the above ingredients together and then blend in a blender. Put in a small pan and cook on 180 C (50 F) for 20 minutes. Let cool. In the meantime, make the frosting:
Frosting
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup hazelnuts or cashews, soaked for a few hours
2 tablespoons coconut milk 
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Combine these ingredients in a blender, then spread on the brownies when cool. Put in the freezer for at least an hour, then cut into bars. Thank you Corinne and thanks very much to Alexandra Colombo for the original referral!
