Does anyone have a simple recipe for low-sugar protein bars?

As someone who hits the gym regularly, I find myself spending quite a bit on protein bars each month, so I’ve decided to start making my own. I’m a decent cook with two decades of experience, but baking (like scones, cakes, and cookies) isn’t really my forte.

I would love your recommendations for an easy homemade protein bar recipe. If you could include the calorie count, that would be fantastic, but if not, I can probably figure it out myself.

I already have protein powder and natural zero-sugar peanut butter, and I can easily pick up any other ingredients I might need. I took a look online, but most of the recipes I found include sweeteners like honey, sugar, or golden syrup, which I’m hoping to avoid for a lower sugar content.

Thanks in advance!

    Absolutely! Here’s a simple low-sugar protein bar recipe that you can easily make at home. It’s packed with protein and has a minimal amount of sugar from the ingredients used.

    No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Bars

    Ingredients:

    • 1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free if needed)
    • 1 cup protein powder (flavor of your choice)
    • 1/2 cup natural zero-sugar peanut butter
    • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (sugar-free or low sugar)

    Instructions:

    1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder.
    2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined. The mixture should be somewhat sticky but hold together; adjust with a little more almond milk if too dry or a sprinkle of oats if too wet.
    3. Add Chocolate Chips: If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips.
    4. Shape the Bars: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly and pressing it down firmly.
    5. Chill: Place the dish in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours to set.
    6. Cut and Store: Once firm, remove from the dish and cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
