About This Recipe
Save some money and make this homemade perfect bar recipe! These chocolate chip peanut butter protein bars have just 4 ingredients, come together in 10 minutes, and require no baking. Packed with 16 grams of protein per bar, along with healthy fats and carbs, they make a delicious and easy on-the-go snack or dessert everyone will love.
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter ((256 grams - you can use smooth or chunky))
- 1 cup egg white protein powder ((80 grams) - see notes for substitutions)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup ((see notes))
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips ((60 grams))
- flaked sea salt, for topping
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 pan or bread pan with parchment paper and set aside. An 8x8 will give you 8 thinner bars and a bread pan will give you 6 thicker bars.
- Make your protein bars. Add your peanut butter, maple syrup, protein powder, and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl. Mix until a dough forms. It will get crumbly at first but will come together and have a consistency like cookie dough (see notes if not). Use your hands if needed. If needed, add a little more liquid. Add about a scant 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips and carefully mix to combine. Be careful not to overmix as the dough will become crumbly.
- Form into bars. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Top with remaining chocolate chips, pressing them into the dough, and sprinkle with optional sea salt if desired. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up some (I like doing this).
- Enjoy! Cut into 8 equal-sized bars and enjoy! Store in the fridge for up to a week.
