Ingredients for Grain-Free Red Velvet Cake Bars:

Instructions for Grain-Free Red Velvet Cake Bars:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, True Nutrition Red Velvet Soy Protein Powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Whisk the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, beet juice, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine wet and dry: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until fully combined. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
5. Add mix-ins: If desired, fold in dark chocolate chips or nuts.
6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and slice: Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares.
