Easy Homemade Protein Bars
Making your own protein bars is super easy! Homemade protein bars save you money and taste so much better than the bars you can buy!
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup vanilla protein powder, (any low-carb brand)
- 1 teaspoon Stevia
- 1 cup natural peanut butter, (no salt & sugar added)
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp. sugar-free syrup
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large glass or microwave-safe bowl, combine your nut butter with your sugar-free syrup. Heat it for 1 – 2 minutes in the microwave, mixing every 15 seconds until smooth and easy to mix together.
- Add in the coconut flour, protein powder, and stevia powder and mix well.
- Tip: How well the dough comes together depends on the brand of nut butter you use. You can add more coconut flour 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough seems to wet. Add a teaspoon or two of syrup more if the dough is too thick and not coming together easily.
- Add the protein bar batter to the loaf pan and press to fill the pan. Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top and press in slightly
- Refrigerate for an hour or two until the protein bars are firm enough to be cut and served.
