Does anyone have a simple low-sugar protein bar recipe? As someone who regularly hits the gym, I find myself spending quite a bit on protein bars each month, so I’ve decided to start making my own. I love cooking and have been doing it for a couple of decades, but I have limited experience with baking (like scones, cakes, and cookies).

If you could share an easy homemade protein bar recipe, I would really appreciate it! If possible, please include the calorie count, but if not, I can probably figure that out on my own.

I already have protein powder and natural zero-sugar peanut butter, and I can easily pick up any other ingredients I might need. I did some browsing online, but most recipes I found use sweeteners like honey, sugar, or golden syrup, which I’m trying to avoid.

Thanks in advance!

    Absolutely! Here’s a simple low-sugar protein bar recipe that you can customize according to your taste. Since you already have protein powder and natural zero sugar peanut butter, this recipe will be right up your alley!

    Easy Low-Sugar Protein Bars

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup rolled oats
    • 1 cup protein powder (your choice)
    • 1/2 cup natural zero sugar peanut butter
    • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
    • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate flavor)
    • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • A pinch of salt
    • Optional: A sweetener of your choice (like stevia or monk fruit) to taste

    Instructions:

    1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, and salt.

    2. Add the wet ingredients: Add the peanut butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a little more almond milk until you reach a thick but moldable consistency.

    3. Sweeten if necessary: Taste the mixture and if you’d like it sweeter, add your chosen low-calorie sweetener and mix again.

    4. Press into a pan: Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the pan and press it down firmly into an even layer.

    5. Chill and cut: Let the bars cool in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours, so they firm up. Once set, remove from the pan and cut into bars or squares.

    6. Store: Keep your protein bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.

    Calorie Information (per bar, based on 12 bars):

    • Approx. 150-200 calories (calories will vary based on the specific ingredients and quantities used).

    Feel free to personalize the recipe by adding nuts, seeds, or dried fruits if you want extra texture and flavor, just keep in mind they may add some sugar. Enjoy your homemade protein bars!
