They’re ideal for meal prep, post-workout fuel, afternoon snacks, or whenever you need a quick protein boost.
With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, you’ll have a batch of protein-packed bars ready to enjoy all week long! I highly recommend using Naked Nutrition’s Peanut Butter Powder for best results!
Why this Recipe Works:
- Peanut Butter Creates the Perfect Base – Providing healthy fats, protein, and a creamy texture that holds everything together without the need for baking.
- Peanut Butter Powder Boosts the Protein Content – While intensifying the peanut butter flavor. It also helps absorb excess moisture, giving the bars a firm yet chewy texture.
- Honey Acts as a Natural Binder and Sweetener – Helping the bars hold their shape while adding just the right amount of sweetness.
- Melted Chocolate Adds a Rich, Indulgent Topping – That transforms a simple protein snack into a treat that feels like dessert.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 1/2 cup Peanut Butter – Forms the rich, creamy base of the bars while providing healthy fats, protein, and a satisfying texture.
- 3/4 cup Naked Nutrition Peanut Butter Powder – Boosts the protein content and intensifies the peanut butter flavor without adding excess oil or calories.
- 1/3 cup Honey – Acts as a natural sweetener and binding ingredient, helping the bars hold their shape.
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips (Melted) – Creates a delicious chocolate topping that adds sweetness and pairs perfectly with the peanut butter flavor.
- 2 tsp Oil – Helps the melted chocolate stay smooth and spreadable, creating a glossy topping that is easier to bite into once set.
How to Make Protein Bars Made with Peanut Butter Powder
- Put 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 3/4 cup Naked Nutrition peanut butter powder, and 1/3 cup honey into a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Press evenly into a 8 x 8 pan.
- Melt 1 cup chocolate chips with 2 tsp oil in the microwave, stirring in 30 second intervals until smooth and melted.
- Pour over the peanut butter mixture and spread to coat evenly.
- Refrigerate until firm, then cut into bars.
- Store in the refrigerator.
My Best Tips:
- Naked Nutrition Peanut Butter Powder Can Be Mixed In:
- Shakes and Smoothies
- Pancake and Waffle Batter
- Yogurt
- Energy Bites or Balls
- Chia Pudding
- Smoothie Bowls
- Overnight Oats
- Baked Oats
- Muffins
- Almond/Soy/Oat Milk
- Steel Cut Oats
- Adjust the Consistency as Needed – Different peanut butter powders absorb moisture differently. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little extra peanut butter or honey. If it’s too sticky, add a little peanut butter powder.
- Chill Before Slicing – Allow the bars to refrigerate for 1-2 hours so they firm up properly and are easier to cut.
- Store Them Cold – Because they bars are made with peanut butter and a chocolate topping, they hold their shape best when stored in the refrigerator.
- Customize the Flavor – Add mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top to make the bars your own.
