Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (Unsalted)
- 3/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder (I used NuZest)
- 1/4 cup Brown Rice Syrup (or maple syrup)
- 1/4 cup Dairy-Free Dark Chocolate Chips (or freeze-dried blueberries)
- 2-3 tablespoons Almond Milk ( or melted coconut oil if dough is too dry)
Instructions
- 1
Before you start the recipe, I recommend weighing the ingredients rather than using cups. In fact, protein powder is very volatile, and it is easy to add too much, making the bar too dry.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine natural peanut butter with brown rice syrup until smooth.
- 3
Stir in vanilla pea protein powder and chocolate chips. It will become difficult to stir with a spoon. Use your hands to squeeze the batter and form a consistent dough.
- 4
If too dry or crumbly, fix it by adding 1 tablespoon at a time of either almond milk (makes the bar softer) or melted coconut oil (not too hot, or it will melt your chocolate chips). The dough has enough liquid when it stick together when squeezed in your hand.
- 5
Press the dough into a square 8-inch x 8-inch pan, smoothen the top with the back of a spoon or spatula. Freeze 10 minutes to set.
- 6
Remove from the freezer and cut into 12 protein bars.

Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
