I had to make a few adjustments because the recipe turned out too dry to stick together (I may have added too much protein powder, so not saying its the recipes fault.) I added 60 g peanut butter at the end to make it sticky, and had to add 1/2 cup water total. They turned out delicious though! They tasted like a no-bake cookie.

The protein powder the link leads to specifically is labeled as soy free

I had the same question as Jaime about the protein grams... for this protein bar... and calories and fat are always good to know... fiber grams...?? Thanks... they sound so good but I hate to eat mystery food. 🙂

Hi. I tried to make protein bars at home using rolled oats and other ingredients. I grinded each ingredient in a blender and powdered them. Also added some coconut oil, honey and peanut butter. The final mixture I got is too dry and will not settle in form of a bar. How do I correct it? Can I make a dough out of it by adding water to it?

Ours came out very sticky too (used whey protein powder), so I rolled them in dessicated coconut. Problem solved 🙂

How do you keep them from being sticky? They are delicious however we'd like to take them with us to wrestling tournaments for a nutritious snack.

Hi! I made this recipe today but need some help...once I added the dates, the mixture was still dry and not coming together so I added a splash of almond milk. Except it turned out to be more than a splash and I think the batter is a bit more on the runny side though not terrible. Do you think it'll set/dry out a bit if I leave it in the refrigerator overnight? Thanks!! (I took a sneak taste and they're amazing 🙂

P.S. I made the newer recipe and used 1 tbsp of choc chips (Price in South Africa: R5.5 per bar; 'High Protein' bar at shops R15 - it's the lower end of range).

Great recipe! According to myfitnesspal the nutrition scores are different from above:
Calories per bar (recipe makes 12)
157
Protein 5.9
Carbs 15.5
Fat 8.6

Each bar costs roughly 1/3 of the price of the cheaper store-bought protein bars 🙂

Thanks for this awesome recipe! I just made my first ever batch of protein bars, from this recipe, and the dough tastes insanely good. They're setting up in the fridge and I can't wait to try one. But I don't know if I did something wrong...the dough became like cement, stuck to anything it touched and I had a horrible time getting it out of the processor bowl, or off the spoon, or my fingers. Shaping it into a square was out of the question, I don't know if I'll be able to get the parchment paper off. Is this normal? Maybe I used too many dates?

Hi I was looking for a tasty homemade protein bar recipe after being disgusted with the ingredients and the price of commercially available bars. This was my first time making a protein bar, and they came out delicious. I substituted 1/3 of the oat flour for coconut flour to make them less dense, used toasted almonds for the blended mixture, and added 1/2 cup of milled chia and flax seed for extra protein and nutrition. I also spread a thin layer of dark chocolate over the outside of the bars instead of adding chocolate chips or cocoa nibs to the mixture, and sprinkled the tops with toasted unsweetened coconut and chopped toasted pecans. They taste heavenly and I'll be making these again whenever I need a chocolate fix. Great recipe, thank you for sharing.

Yay for protein. I used whey protein and used almond instead of pecans, I didn't use dates, but I used sweetened coconut. I also used milk instead of water but I added too much so it was runny so I panicked and added two eggs then baked them at 375 for about 10 minutes. Yum!! I also added flax seed because I have a ton of them. Overall they turned out well and I'm glad they aren't too sweet.

Any idea on a general price range for a batch of 10 of these protein bars? I know it is tough to guesstimate due to buying a lot of these ingredients in bulk.
