vegan protein bars

These vegan protein bars are a great post workout snack or great for a healthy energy boost. Made with no refined sugar, they are gluten-free and dairy-fee.

Vegan Protein Bars

peanut butter

dates

almond milk

vanilla extract

oats

vegan protein powder

flaxseed

salt

chocolate chips

Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhanging paper on the sides. Set aside.

In the bowl of a food processor, add the peanut butter, dates, almond milk and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and consistent, about 1 minute.

Stop the food processor to scrape down the sides, then add the oats, protein powder, ground flaxseed and salt. Pulse a few times until the ingredients are well combined. The mixture should have a cookie dough-like texture. If it’s too dry, add a splash of milk. If it’s too wet, add more protein powder and pulse again.

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula or your hands.

Press the mixture into the prepared pan and flatten out the top with your hands or the back of a spoon. It helps to spray your hands with oil when pressing down. Place in the freezer until it sets, about 15 minutes.

Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift from the baking pan, and slice into 8 bars. Enjoy immediately.

Moist and chewy vegan protein blondies! Loaded with chocolate chips and sprinkles, these protein bars require just 12 ingredients. Plus, it&#039;s gluten-free!

Birthday Cake Protein Blondies (Vegan / Gluten-Free)

tbsp ground flax seeds

oat flour

tbsp vegan protein powder (use your favorite plant-based protein)

coconut sugar

coconut oil

tsp vanilla extract

tsp salt

cinnamon

tsp baking soda

tbsp sprinkles

dark chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 7x7-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, prepare the flax egg by whisking together the ground flax eggs with the almond milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, vegan protein powder, flax egg, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Stir until it is well combined. Add the sprinkles and chocolate chips and stir again. You should end up with a batter that has the consistency of soft cookie dough.

Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and press the dough into an even layer. At this point, you can top it with more sprinkles if you want.

Bake for 14-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting into 9 squares.

Protein blondies will keep for up to 4 days at room temperature or 1 week in the refrigerator.

Saw this come through my email and made it almost immediately. Didn't have sprinkles or chocolate chips on hands, so I omitted both. Came out really tasty... kind of like a snickerdoodle taste with the cinnamon. Of course it would be even better with the chocolate chips and sprinkles! Oh, and I used 50g date sugar and 50g cane sugar to sweeten, and sunflower oil instead of coconut oil.

Thomas-- I love that you use oat flour here instead of all purpose flour. I am always trying to incorporate as much fiber into my meals, including desserts, and so many baked sweets use all purpose flour (which I try to avoid completely).

C'est magnifique! :)

Best Gluten Free Dairy Free Protein Bars Recipe

almond butter** or other nut butter

maple syrup***

tsp sea salt

flaxseed meal

TBSP unflavored, unsweetened protein powder**** (any kind)

TBSP sesame seeds

dairy-free dark chocolate, chopped or dairy-free chocolate chips (approx 1 cup)

(optional,

Line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, add almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir to combine. 

Then, add cinnamon, sea salt, flaxseed meal and protein powder. Stir to combine.

Add the sesame seeds and stir well to combine. Try to evenly distribute the sesame seeds throughout the mixture.

Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan and use your hands to firmly press it into the pan to help form cohesive bars. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to smooth out the top into a flat, even layer. Refrigerate it for 15 minutes to set.

Melt the chocolate either in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring in between, or using a double boiler method, stirring constantly with a heat resistant spatula until completely melted. 

Pour the chocolate over the mixture and use a spoon or spatula to smooth and spread it out evenly.

Return to the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate sets completely.

Once hardened, cut into bars or squares. Store in the fridge or freezer.

These were so easy to make. Absolutely delicious!

I LOVE these bars! Started making for my daughter who is dairy and gf; but now we all eat them!

Hi Nicole,
This is such a fantastic recipe! As someone who has been involved in the protein bar industry for several years, I can genuinely appreciate how much thought you've put into creating a clean, allergen-friendly option. I love the focus on a soft, cake-like texture rather than the typical dense or chalky bars found in stores. Your ingredient flexibility for vegan and AIP diets is impressive and makes these bars accessible to so many more people. Plus, using real ingredients like almond butter, flaxseed meal, and maple syrup adds both nutrition and flavor depth. I’m definitely inspired to try this at home! Out of curiosity, have you ever experimented with adding adaptogens like ashwagandha or maca powder to boost the functional benefits even more?

These are absolutely delicious! Thank you for the recipe.

We LOVE this recipe! So delicious! The first time I tried it, I used 3 tablespoons of my protein. 3 tablespoons of my protein gives me 30 grams of protein rather than 63 grams of protein for yours. I’d love to get more protein in the second time I make this, but I would need to use 6 tablespoons of protein. Should I adjust the ratios any? Thank you in advance!!

I made this and they were amazing except my first attempt did not seem like it had enough liquid to mix all the ingredient - is that normal?

So so good!! Me and my husband are loving these!! Thank you for sharing!
