The Ingredients for the Vegan Protein Praline
Bananas
Bananas are used in this recipe as a natural sweetener and it will form the base of our praline and provide the right texture.
In addition to a sweet and creamy taste, banana also imparts nutrients such as vitamin B6, potassium and fiber.
A Recipe with Vegan Protein Powder
The vegan protein powder will provide our praline with the necessary protein.
Dark chocolate (85%)
Chocolate is made from sugar, cocoa powder and cocoa butter. This gives our recipe a delicious chocolate flavor, more sweetness, creaminess and firmness. Once the chocolate cools again, the chocolate mixture will solidify. This is how our batter goes from liquid to firm without using an oven.
For this recipe, we use 85% dark chocolate. The percentage of dark chocolate shows the amount of dry cocoa solids used.
Did you know that dark chocolate is high in iron? Per 100g of dark chocolate, you get 3.2g of iron. Dark chocolate also provides nutrients such as magnesium (89mg/100g), potassium (400mg/100g) and zinc (1.3mg/100g). Even antioxidants! But keep in mind that dark chocolate may already be called “dark” from 35%. This means that it consists 35% dry cocoa solids. The healthiest chocolate is dark chocolate with 85 percent cocoa or more.
Frequently asked questions
Can this recipe be made without bananas?
Yes, you can replace the bananas with 300-330g steamed/cooked/canned squash. Keep in mind that the chocolate praline does become slightly different in texture and sweetness. You might consider experimenting with 1-2 (soaked) seedless dates or 1 tbsp sugar substitute.
What is the best way to store the vegan chocolate protein chocolates?
Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and they will keep for up to 5 days.
