Remove and cut into bars. They’re ready to go! Store in airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy! 🙂
This is so good. I really love the recipe. I have been working out more during this lockdown and these protein bars will surely help me. Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe.
These are delicious! The texture and flavor are great! I used only 1 tbsp of honey and it was plenty sweet. 🙂
Can I use collagen powder for the protein powder?
If you wanted to reduce the sugar content (particularly if using sweetened protein powder), do you have any suggestions for something else “sticky” to help the bars hold together? Thanks!
Any chance oat flour could work😭😭
So easy to make and taste just like a perfect bar! I used unflavored vital proteins collagen powder and about 4 tablespoons honey. I added in a little vanilla extract too. They kind of taste better though like raw cookie dough. I cut into 16 squares. Thanks for the recipe!
In the original “perfect bar”, they have some veggie powders. Do you have any ideas how to add in some veggies to this?
I’ve never bought protein powder, is there a particular brand that works well with baking? I shop at Trader Joe’s or Sprouts, so something available there would be helpful! Thanks!
These are great. I used Simple brand Pumpkin Seed Protein. The second time I made them I replaced 6 TBSP of the almond flour with 2 TBSP each of ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and hemp seeds. They are a nice variety on the original recipe and I imagine you could do many different add ins instead of that as well.
These are amazing they keep you feeling full and are so easy and quick to make
