Let’s face it. Most protein bars contain either gluten or animal products. They are often made from whey protein powder which is not a plant-based protein but comes from animal sources. Also, most bars contain oats or are not gluten-free certified.

- ½ cup Lønnesirup - (merknad 2)
- 1 cup Vaniljeproteinpulver - (merknad 3)
- 3 ss Mandelmel - (merknad 4)

Instruksjoner
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper lightly oiled with coconut oil. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients: protein powder, almond flour, and 3 tablespoons of coconut flour. Set aside.
- In another bowl, stir peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth and consistent. If your peanut butter is not drippy and smooth, you can microwave the mixture for 30 seconds to make it smooth and easy to stir
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula at first. When the dough is hard to stir, use your hand to squeeze and knead the dough to form a ball. If too dry, add an extra teaspoon of melted coconut. If too wet, add the extra tablespoon of coconut flour.
- Press the dough into the pan and smoothen the top with a spatula.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Stir until smooth and shiny.
- Pour the melted chocolate on top of the bar and tilt the pan to spread the chocolate all over the bar.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour to set the chocolate on top of the bar or freeze for 10 minutes to set them fast.

Ingredienser og erstatninger
All you need to make no-bake proteins bars at home in under 20 minutes are:
- Plantebasert proteinpulver – I am using unflavored pea protein powder for this recipe it means that if your protein powder contains flavors, you may have to skip or reduce vanilla extract to prevent the vanilla flavor from overpowering the bar.
- Coconut Flour – It’s a naturally low-carb, gluten-free flour that is safe to eat raw and adds fiber and texture to the bars.
- Mandelmel – This is another gluten-free low-carb flour, bringing healthy fats and proteins to the bars.
- Peanøtt smør – Use a fresh jar with drippy peanut butter. If your peanut butter jar has been open a while back and the nut butter has hardened, the bar may come out super dry and crumbly.
- Lønnesirup – Or any liquid sweetener you like such as coconut nectar or rice malt syrup.
- Vaniljeekstrakt – Skip if your powder is vanilla flavored.
- Kokosolje – this is necessary to keep the bars together and make a shiny top chocolate layer.
Sjokoladebelegg
To coat the bars, you need 3 ingredients:
- Mørk sjokolade – 70% cocoa or 85% cocoa to decrease added sugar in the bars.
- Kokosolje
- Klype havsalt on the top to enhance the chocolate flavor of the bars.
How To Make Gluten-Free Protein Bars
It’s super easy to make these protein energy bars using only simple natural ingredients.
Lagringsinstruksjoner
These homemade protein bars store well at romtemperatur for a few hours, even on hot days. However, it’s better to store them in the fridge in a sealed box to keep them fresher for up to one week. You can absolutely freeze protein bars in zip-loc bags and thaw them for 4 to 5 hours before eating them at room temperature.
Allergibytter
If you have some allergies to the ingredients used in these gluten-free protein bars, try some of the options below.
- Peanøttfri – Replace the peanut butter with fresh solsikkefrøsmør or almond butter. Almond butter is a bit drier and tends to dry the bar, while sunflower seed butter is a bit bitter. Choose the option that matches your tastebuds and dietary requirement, both options are gluten-free and vegan.
- Low-carb – Coconut flour and almond flour are low-carb, so you can keep these bars low in carbs by using a sugar-free syrup but do not use sugar-free pancake syrup that is mainly made of water. We can’t guarantee the texture if you are using sugar-free maple-flavored syrup as they are extremely high in fiber and tend to dry out the bars. You may need to add more coconut oil to balance the texture.
- Kokosfri – You can replace coconut oil with melted cocoa butter. We didn’t try other oil, and I believe they would work but add strong flavor to the bars especially olive oil or avocado oil – not recommended.
Ofte Stilte Spørsmål
Below are the answers to the most frequent questions about this recipe.
Most of the time, gluten is present under the name of oats, or some protein bars are manufactured in places that contain gluten and traces can remain in the product.
You may have great results with only almond flour but you will need way more. Almond flour contains less fiber than coconut flour, and you most likely will need 4 times more almond flour to compensate for one serving of coconut flour. So 3 tablespoons of coconut flour may require up to 12 tablespoons of almond flour.

Can I make this with out protein powder?
The bars will be too soft if you don’t add something else like oat flour.
Is the amount of almond flour only 3 tablespoons? Or is it more?
Yes, the recipe is correct as per written!
Yummy, made it and loved it
What can I substitute almond flour for? I would rather avoid soy flour and oat flour.
I didn’t try something else, usually same ratio of sesame flour or sunflower flour are great to swap almond flour.
Could you please show me where I would find the nutrition facts on the recipes?

There’s a discrepancy in the ingredients
It list 3T almond flour and 3/4 C coconut flour
Then in the description, it says to mix dry ingredients and says 3T coconut flour….
My bars turned out horribly dry so I presume it should be 3T coconut flour and 3/4 Almond flour…
Thanks for noticing, the recipe plugin converted 3-4 tablespoons to 3/4! I didn’t know this could happened and thanks to you, it’s all fixed now.
Would it be possible to substitute the coconut flour for more almond flour? I’m having a hard time finding coconut flour but I already have almond flour.
Yes but you will need way more as usually, you need 4 times more almond flour than coconut flour. So 1 tbsp coconut flour equivalent about 3 tbps almond flour
