Protein Bars Recipe
Soft homemade Protein Bars Recipe made with peanut butter, protein powder, and maple syrup for a quick, energizing snack ideal for busy mornings or grab-and-go fuel.
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter or allergy-friendly substitute
- ¾ cup protein powder 90 g
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 4 oz melted chocolate chips optional
Mix peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup (or honey), and salt until a smooth, dense dough forms. Adjust with extra syrup if dry or more protein powder if sticky.
Press the dough evenly into a parchment-lined 8×8 pan.
Melt chocolate in 20-second intervals and pour over the top. Add a little oil if you want a smoother finish.
Chill for 1 hour, then lift out and slice into bars.
Serve chilled or let soften slightly for a creamier bite.
