Description
Chewy, satisfying, and naturally vegan, these no-bake peanut butter protein bars are made with clean ingredients and packed with plant-based protein. Perfect for a quick snack, post-workout fuel, or a healthy treat on the go.
Ingredients
1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1/2 cup maple syrup or keto syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup protein powder (plant-based or whey, unsweetened)
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until smooth.
- Add the almond flour and protein powder. Mix until a thick dough forms.
- If using chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough.
- Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan.
- Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to firm up.
- Once chilled, slice into 10 to 12 bars and store appropriately.
Notes
Swap peanut butter for almond or cashew butter as desired.
For added texture, mix in chopped nuts, seeds, coconut, or dried fruit.
Use flavored protein powders like chocolate or vanilla for a twist.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
Let frozen bars thaw at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before eating.
