Let us tell you right now, the dark chocolate goes SO WELL with the pumpkin in this simple, homemade protein bar recipe!

This is a great recipe to showcase just how easy and quick it is to make your own protein bars, and just how incredible they taste!

Feel free to tweak this recipe to your own taste too if you like. For example, if you don’t like pumpkin butter, use peanut or almond butter! If you want them wetter: add more milk. If you want them drier: add a bit more of the coconut flour or cocoa. Have fun with this one!

Ingredients

(Remember to consult our measurement conversion page if you’d like to change this recipe to cups and tablespoons!)

12 grams oats (gluten-free or regular)
10 grams whey protein powder
5-10 grams coconut flour
1 tsp vanilla essence
12 grams agave syrup
13-15 grams cocoa powder
16 grams pumpkin seed butter
Splash of coffee (no more than a couple of teaspoons)

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl using your hands.

2. Shape into two bars.

3. Once they’re shaped, you can either refrigerate them so they set a bit further OR you can melt some dark chocolate (no more than 10g per bar) and dunk your bars in there before placing them on an alumium foil-lined tray in the fridge for the dark chocolate coating to set.
