Perfekte barer
Ingredienser
- 1 cup Peanøttsmør (usaltet)
- ¾ cup Vaniljeproteinpulver - I used NuZest
- ¼ cup Brun ris sirup - eller lønnesirup
Valgfritt
- ¼ cup Melkefrie mørke sjokoladebiter - or freeze-dried blueberries
- 2-3 ss Mandel-melk - or melted coconut oil if dough is too dry
Instruksjoner
- Before you start the recipe, I recommend weighing the ingredients rather than using cups. In fact, protein powder is very volatile, and it is easy to add too much, making the bar too dry.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine natural peanut butter with brown rice syrup until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla pea protein powder and chocolate chips. It will become difficult to stir with a spoon. Use your hands to squeeze the batter and form a consistent dough.
- If too dry or crumbly, fix it by adding 1 tablespoon at a time of either almond milk (makes the bar softer) or melted coconut oil (not too hot, or it will melt your chocolate chips). The dough has enough liquid when it stick together when squeezed in your hand.
- Press the dough into a square 8-inch x 8-inch pan, smoothen the top with the back of a spoon or spatula. Freeze 10 minutes to set.
- Remove from the freezer and cut into 12 protein bars.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Ingredienser og erstatninger
To make high-protein vegan bars that are healthy and gluten-free at home, you need to focus on wholesome ingredients.
- Peanut Butter Or Almond Butter – Choose a nut butter with no added sugar, no added vegetable oil. Check the ingredient list of your peanut butter jar. You should only see peanuts and eventually salt.
- Proteinpulver – Choose a clean protein powder low in sugar and carbs. The most popular plant-based protein powders are made of these veganske proteinkilder: Ertprotein, Hemp Protein, Brun ris proteineller Soya Protein. I like to use NuZest Vanilla Protein powder for these plant-based protein bars. It is a high-quality pea protein mix made of real food rich in nutrients and vitamins.
- Brun ris sirup – A low-GI liquid sweetener is the best to keep your energy level steady and to make low-sugar vegan protein bars. However, any unrefined liquid sweetener below is a healthier liquid sweetener option to make protein bar recipes. They contain plenty of nutrients like magnesium or potassium that refined sweetener doesn’t have. I recommend one of the below options to make this homemade perfect bars recipe.

While you only need 3 ingredients to make these peanut butter protein bars, I highly recommend adding one or a few more ingredients to create a range of protein bar flavors that mimic the Perfect Bar original recipes!
Below are some ingredients I recommend adding to your dough to create the same flavors like the popular perfect bar product range.
- Dark Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter – add 1/4 cup of vegan chocolate chips.
- Kokos peanøttsmør – add 1/4 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut.
- Sjokolade Mint – add 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips and 3-4 drops of mint stevia drops.
- Saltet karamell – add 3-4 drops of salted caramel stevia drops.
- Mørk sjokolade mandel – add 1/4 cup of vegan dark chocolate chips and replace peanut butter with almond butter.
- Blueberry Cashews – replace peanut butter with cashew butter in the recipe and add 1/4 cup freeze-dried blueberry.
Carines tips
If it is your first time using protein powder in a recipe, let me share some tips with you.
- Weigh Your Powder For Precision – protein powder is very liquid absorbent. A tiny extra amount can dry up these vegan, gluten-free protein bars. So weigh the powder rather than using measuring cups.
- Adjust The Dough – if your dough is too dry and it becomes difficult to bring the ingredients together, add a splash of almond milk, 2 or 3 tablespoons adding gradually. Usually, one tablespoon is enough to help the dough come together.
I really think they are the best vegan protein bars! But, be aware that depending on the plant-based protein powder blend and sweetener you choose, the texture can vary a lot. They are mainly dense, crumbly, not sticky or chewy.
