How to make the best vegan protein bars without sugar! Made with oats, dates, and nut butter, these are the perfect high-protein vegan snack.
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter plus 2 tablespoons
- 10 Medjool dates pitted (about 1 cup)
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseed meal
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder vegan if desired (I tested the recipe with Bob's Red Mill Nutritional Booster, which is unfortunately no longer available)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 to 4 tablespoons almond milk
- ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides like handles.
- To the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add the peanut butter, dates, and rolled oats. Pulse several times until the mixture breaks down, and the ingredients begin to incorporate with one another.
- Scrape down the bowl then add the chia seeds, protein powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Pulse until all ingredients are well combined. Depending on your food processor, this may take a few minutes.
- Check the consistency of your dough. When you pick up a small handful of it and squeeze, it should hold together and resemble cookie dough. If it is too dry, continue pulsing in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach the right consistency. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the chocolate chips and, with a spatula (or your fingers), stir to combine the chips and moisten any bits of dough that the food processor didn't incorporate evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press it into an even, flat layer. Transfer the pan to the freezer for 15 minutes or to the refrigerator for 1 hour, until the bars firm up.
- Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment handles and transfer them to a cutting board. Slice into bars of the desired size (I made 12) and enjoy.
Notes
- TO STORE: Store the bars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Due to their “no bake” consistency, the bars will become soft at room temperature.
- TO FREEZE: Place the bars in an airtight, freezer-safe storage container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
