Mga Protein Bar na walang Protein Powder
Ingredients
- 1 maaari Black Beans - 15-oz can (425g) drained, rinsed (note 1)
- ¼ tasa Unsweetened kakaw pulbos
- ¼ tasa Peanut butter - (tala 2)
- ⅓ tasa Maple syrup - (tala 3)
- 1 tasa Lumang-Modernong Rolled Oats - (tala 4)
Chocolate Layer – optional
- ¼ tasa Chocolate chip - (tala 5)
- ½ kutsarita Langis ng niyog - (tala 6)
tagubilin
- In a food processor, add drained, rinsed black beans, cocoa powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, and oats.
- Process at medium to high speed until it forms a chocolate paste. You will have to stop the food processor 2-3 times, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, and process again. You want all the black beans to be puree, but you will still see pieces of oats; that's normal.
- If the batter is too wet – you should be able to squeeze the batter into a ball. If it's too wet, add a bit more oats, and process to incorporate.
- Press the batter onto a pieces of lightly oiled parchment paper, place another piece of parchment paper on top, and press to form a flat top. Shape into a rectangle.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stir between, until it's fully melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate on top of the bar, leaving the sides free from melted chocolate to make it easier to cut.
- Place the bar 12 minutes in the freezer to set the chocolate layer.
- Place the bar on a chopping board, cut into 6 even bars.

Tatlong simpleng sangkap lang ang kailangan mo para gawin ang resipe na ito. Narito kung paano pumili at magpalit ng mga ito.

- Black Beans – These are the base for the bars, providing a good source of plant-based protein and fiber, and they also give the bars a fudge-like texture. You can also use chickpeas, lentils, or navy beans.
- Unsweetened kakaw pulbos – This gives the bars their rich chocolate flavor and a beautiful dark color.
- Peanut butter – This helps bind the ingredients together, adds healthy fats, and contributes to the protein content. Almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter are fine if you prefer.
- Maple syrup – This is a natural sweetener for the bars. Agave syrup or date syrup also work well here.
- Lumang-Modernong Rolled Oats – These add structure and fiber to the bars. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free oats or toasted quinoa flakes.
- Chocolate chip – These are optional and add a lovely crunchy chocolate topping. You can use sugar-free or 85% chocolate if you want to reduce the sugar.
- Langis ng niyog – This helps the chocolate chips melt smoothly for the topping. Light olive oil or avocado oil also work.

Let me share a few more tips for perfect protein bars.
- Prep Your Beans – Make sure your black beans are really well-drained and rinsed before adding them to the food processor. Too much moisture can make the batter too wet and harder to shape.
- Achieve Smoothness – When processing the mixture, be patient and scrape down the sides of the food processor bowl multiple times. You want a very smooth paste from the beans, even if the oats still have some texture.
- Ayusin ang Consistency – If your batter feels too sticky or wet after processing, don’t worry! Just add a tablespoon more of rolled oats at a time and process again until it’s easier to handle and you can form a ball.
- Mabilis na Itakda – For a faster set on the chocolate layer, you can place the bars in the freezer. Just don’t forget them in there!







Look soo good
I look forward to hear your feedback on those!
I love these bars! I’m a nursing mom and I keep them on hand at night as a sweet treat that also keeps my body fueled as I wake up every few hours to feed the baby. if the dough is too moist, I like adding a few chia seeds as an extra nutrition boost. Also, I cut them a lot smaller than the recipe says so I can snack on them a few bites at a time. I also find that with low sodium beans, 1/4t salt really up to the flavor…. and I always measure with my heart for the chocolate chips ;p
That’s so amazing to hear, thank you!
I made a batch of these and they are out of this world! I don’t think I will ever buy protein bars again! Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!
This has been a hit. Looking for cheap and delicious ways to use beans, try these! I’ll definitely make again, even my toddler liked them (might just be for the chocolate on top lol)
Salamat sa iyo kaya magkano!
Thank you SO much for this lovely feedback!
Please clarify, do you bake these or not? I don’t see any baking instructions but I see baking mentioned in the notes. Thanks
It’s a no bake recipe, that’s why there’s no baking instructions. The note was a mixtake, I fix it, thanks for spotting.
SUPERHEERLIJK ❤️❤️❤️
Salamat!
I made this last weekend and they are soooo good. Who knew black beans could be tasty. I put melted Lindt chocolate on top because who doesn’t love Lindt. Highly recommend trying these and they were easy to make. THANK YOU for sharing your lovely recipes!
Thank you so much ! I love Lindt 70% too.
I was surprised that the bean flavor was not at all obvious. These bars are delicious. I only blended the beans then added all the other ingredients whole. Also added a couple squares of chopped up 85% dark chocolate and a quarter cup of chopped peanuts. Did not add any chocolate on top. Will make again. Also, I did not have black beans so I used pinto beans.
Thank you so much for sharing! I love the added dark chocolate, sounds yummy.
This sounds like an interesting recipe, but I’m left wondering what if I added a scoop of protein powder to up the protein and mask the black bean flavor? Also, I can’t have oats and know nothing about quinoa…is there another option for substituting the oat meal in the recipe? Thanks!
If you want to use protein powder, make my protein bars with protein powder, it has no oats, no beans to mask, it will be much easier than adapting this recipe.
For those of us who buy dry beans and rehydrate them, it would be helpful If you also showed a volume measurement for the beans.
Sure, a can is always 1 1/4 cup of beans, or 15 oz/425g.
looks like a great recipe.
would I be able to substitite sweet lupin flour or buckwheat flour?

I don’t think these two flours are safe to be eaten raw, while raw oats is fine.
