No-Bake Low-Carb Protein Bars image

I have been looking for a protein bar that is not full of carbs. The following is a my own interpretation of a recipe I found online. You could experiment with other ingredients (i.e., other types of protein powder, coco powder, nuts and seeds, etc...). If you come up with other variations, let me know! :)

Time 5m

Yield 6 bars, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup flax seed meal (grind whole flax in a coffee grinder)
2 tablespoons coconut flour
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
10 tablespoons protein powder (I use rice)
3 tablespoons carob powder
1/8 teaspoon stevia powder (or to taste)
1/3 cup almond butter
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup water (more or less, as necessary)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all dry ingredients well.
  • 2. Mix together almond butter and coconut oil in a small cup (if the oven is warm (not hot!) I place it in there for a minute to soften it before stiring.
  • 3. Add almond butter and oil to dry ingredients and mix WELL (I actually use my hands to do this). The mixture will be rather dry and crumbly.
  • 4. Add vanilla extract and water (I'd recommend adding water gradually, starting with 1/4 cup, so you don't overdo it) and mix well.
  • 5. Grease a 9x9 pan (or similar size) and press dough into pan. I press for a few minutes with my hand to create a consistent thickness.
  • 6. Chill in the fridge for several hours to set, then cut into approximately 6 pieces. Wrap each one individually for a quick snack, or store them with wax paper in-between.

I tried making these protein bars, but they didn't turn out well. I think I overcooked them.

These protein bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still really good.

I'm allergic to nuts, but I was able to make these protein bars with sunflower seeds instead. They turned out great!
