No-Bake Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Coconut Oil Protein Bars

I made these with the exact recipe and they never firmed up enough to lift them out of the container! Had to put them in individual tupperwares to eat with a spoon :(

Averie~ I was meaning to point out the flexibility in this recipe…even just a couple tablespoons of honey still works! :)

To Julia…I am the creator of this recipe.  No Grains?  Try seeds such as chia, sunflower, and hemp and also chopped nuts such as cashews or almonds.  You need something to act as the glue in the recipe and grains are great but chia seeds, hemp seeds, or nuts will help.

For Thia, to each her own on sweetness.  Glad you have a recipe you like!

anyone have suggestions for a grain free bar…this recipe sounds so delish, but all grains are out, even oats….

I love bananas – but the oil in them attracts mosquitos and I am highly allergic to the beasts. So no bananas for me during mosquito season. Thanks for the alternatives.

I loved this recipe so much, I doubled it the next time I made it! However, it was quite sticky to eat, so I decided to add a top layer of coconut flakes to absorb the sticky yumminess. Even my gluten-eating friends and family loved this protein bar. Thank you!!

bananas are delicious!!! and sooooooooooooo good for you …. and forgiving if they are not organic…. try this…  let them get really ripe… i mean spots all over them… really ripe… then peal them an place them in a zip lock bag and freeze them.. or wrap them individually and freeze them.  you can eat them like this OR use them in recipes calling for bananas.  HOWEVER, when using coconut oil, you must let your bananas get back to room temp or your coconut oil will harden.  Give those bananas another shot, Angelina.  :)

just started experimenting with raw foods and this looks like a doable recipe with a few modifications.  Like the idea of substituting cacao nibs instead of the chips.

these are delicious and rediculously healthy… especially if you substitute cacao nibs for the chocolate chips… i use them as a post work out meal.. (i used no protein powder or flax)

I love these!  In fact, I have to hide them from my 4 year old. I’ve made them twice so far.  I used half agave and half raw honey.  I didn’t use protein powder since I didn’t have any on hand.  I love how versatile this is. As you can easily change the ingredients to suit your tastes.  I used carob chips and craisins.  Very tasty!

Thanks for the recipe. I made these today. Easy to make and came out great. I used all the ingredients including the raisins and an extra 6 chopped dates, total of 6 tbsp egg white protein powder, 1/4c maple syrup and 1/4c evap cane sugar, and almond butter. Everybody loves them! The batter was good and they’re even better once cold.

Can you use agave or raw honey in place of the maple syrup and would you use the same amount?

how do you store these?  fridge??  freezer??

@Marla, the Jay Robb IS protein powder…protein from egg whites.  Except in cooking, where the consistency is changed, the egg white powder works very well, and is so delicious. So, try it (no, I don’t work for them; I just love the JR egg white protein powders).  Can’t wait to try this recipe, too!

Hi Pam,

If you don’t use protein powder will you get the same consistency?  I only have egg white powder by Jay Robb.

Wow…these look great!  Love the texture on these kinds of bars and oh so healthy…thanks Averie..yum!
