I’m here to show you my low carb peanut butter protein bar recipe, but before I share my recipes with you, you absolutely MUST know a few things…

I wanted to give you my top 3 nutrition tips before I share with you the foods that I eat. So take notes!
Nutrition tip #1: Drink WATER. The only time I drink my calories is when I have Shakeology or a glass of wine. I avoid juice and soda, the added sugar and calories aren’t worth it in my opinion.

Nutrition tip #2: Eat mostly plants. I load UP on my veggies. I eat those first–to fill up before I eat starchy foods.
Nutrition tip #3: Avoid processed foods. If it has ingredients you can’t pronounce, don’t eat it.
Bonus tip =) Indulge wisely. If I’m going to indulge in something, I’m going to ENJOY it and it better be worth it. A few bites of cheesecake when I’m out with my hubby, a nice glass of red wine, or some dark chocolate. If I don’t love it, it’s not worth it to me. And if it’s something I DO love, I try to keep it out of the house lol to avoid OVER indulging =)
Now let’s get to that recipe! =)
I love fruit
- 1.5 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 4 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1/2 cup PB2 (powdered peanut butter--can sub peanut butter, but you'll need less water and nutritional info won't be the same)
- 1/2 cup of water or unsweetened almond milk
- Stevia, to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt
- 1. Line a 8X8 dish with wax or parchment paper
- 2. Mix all ingredients by hand in a medium size mixing bowl
- 3. Press mixture down into dish, using a spatula to flatten
- 4. Freeze for appox 30 minutes. Cut into 16 bars. Refrigerate.
- Add more or less water/almond milk to get desired consistency.
- I keep them in the freezer and pull one out 20 minutes before I want to eat one. They should be good in the fridge too!

If you enjoyed this post on low carb, no bake peanut butter protein bars, retweet and comment please =)
Rachel! Looking forward to making this for myself but also for my sister who is diabetic…!
One question: What is PB2?? You list peanut butter earlier in ingredients so I’m at a loss!
Thanks for the recipe!
Hey Rosemary! It’s powdered peanut butter-it’s at most grocery stores, you can just use PB if you want but the nutritional info will change =)
How many bars does it make? Or better yet- what is the serving size for the nutritional data shown?
16 bars =)
Oh my god these are dangerously delicious. I made mine with chocolate vegan protein powder. Needed a little extra water because vegan protein doesn’t dissolve as well, but they came out amazing! Cheaper than store bought protein bars too.
happy you liked them =)
So excited to try these! How many tablespoons constitute a scoop of vanilla protein powder?
3-4 Tbs, it depends on the protein powder =)
I’m excited to try these!!
Does it make a huge difference in the taste of you use water over almond milk. As well what would the calorie comparison be
i don’t think it will, and the calories won’t change a ton, almond milk is pretty low cal =)
Which protein powder do you use? I used Vega one vanilla, with not great results at all. I have never bought protein powder before, this did not work out š
It was a whey based one–I honestly don’t like the vega brand protein–I can’t imagine it tasting good with that one lol! I believe it was Syntha 6: http://amzn.to/2cq5Nt8
Easy enough recipe, but had to feel mymway along as far as consistency, no idea of what that should be, so I guessed. I also love Vega protein powder, only type I’ll use. For mine I used the vanilla sport performance protein powder, almond butter as well as added in some cacao nibs, fine chopped walnuts & almonds for texture. They are working out great. Got sick of looking for a good protein bar in stores, this will do fine.
cacao nibs are great–sounds like a yummy addition! happy you like them =)
I was looking for a base protein bar recipe and this was the bomb!!! I know this throws the number off, but I tweaked it a bit…didn’t have PB2 so instead I added 1/4 cup chia seed and 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder. I also added a 1/4 cup chopped cashews and 1/2 cup dried cherries. I ended up using about 3/4 of water for the right consistency. A half a bar of this and an egg in the a.m. and I’m good to go!! Thanks so much, Rachel!!!
way to be creative with it! sounds awesome! happy you enjoyed them =)
Rachel, I been a Type 1 Diabetic for 37 years and I have never found a recipe for low carb protein bars that wasn’t full of carbs. Thanks for the recipe. I plan to follow you blog.
you’re welcome! happy to help =)
I’m having a hard time getting MyFitnessPal to display the same nutritional values as you have listed. The carbs are much higher on my end… almost 12 grams per bar. Did you have a trick with a type of oatmeal that you used? I’m so excited to try these bars but I’m trying to really stick to low carb!
hmmm could be the protein powder? you can try using more peanut butter instead of pb2 and even cut down on the oats to make them lower carb =)
Unfortunately the nutrition facts are just wrong. 1.5 cups of old fashioned oats are about ~150g of carbs. Not saying this isnt a healthy option but would not classify it as “low carb” Becky is correct in that its more around 12g per serving.
1/2 cup of oats has 27g carbs. 27 x 3 = 81. The recipe has 16 servings =) 81/16 = 5
Ok. So it should be 1/2 cup of oats and not 1.5 as the recipe says above? I want to make these this weekend. Thanks!!
it’s 1.5 cups of oats for the recipe =) but the recipe is super flexible–it’s hard to mess it up lol =)
Just tried these bars and they are excellent! Thank you so very much for the recipe!
I doubled the recipe and did not even need to add any sweetener as they were perfect!
great!
yay so happy you liked them!!
I can’t imagine eating uncooked oatmeal. Does it get moist enough that you can’t tell?
yes! try them out and see how you like them =)
Oats are not ketogenic.
nope! and i don’t eat 100% keto–i eat keto (ish)-which is why i named my ebook that title =)
