Most of the protein bar recipes I've seen here contain oatmeal, flour, honey or dried fruit. Anyone got any nice recipes that are low carb?

Thanks in advance :)

    I came up with a recipe I absolutely love. It's definitely hard to make homemade low carb protein bars that actually taste good (hey, it's hard enough for giant manufacturers to do it!) but this recipe tastes ridiculously good and strikes a good balance between protein and carbs.

    These aren't protein bars but they are yummy and great for breakfast on the go or a snack when craving something 'sweet'

    Choc nut energy truffles:

    Make 8 Balls- 2 net carbs per ball.

    100g (approx 1 cup) of crushed pecan nuts/ almonds or macademia nuts
    1 tbsp ground flax
    1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
    50g(1/2 cup) unsweetened coconut flakes (unsweetened dessicated coconut)
    2 tbsp unsweetened almond butter.
    1 tsp splenda

    Put in a food processor/bowl and mix thoroughly. Chill for at least 30 mins to firm.

    Here's a recipe I found on Tumblr for a homemade Quest bar:
    http://aoifefa.tumblr.com/post/60933185965/renniesane-homemade-quest-bars-variations

    Basic Ingredients

    4 Scoops your vanilla protein powder (about 1/3 cup a scoop)
    1/4 cup nut or seed butter of choice (smooth, not crunchy)
    1/3 - 1/2 cup sweetener (I used stevia, less if you like)
    2-4 tbsp. water (if you feel you need it)
    1/4 cup oat flour or fiber powder or even ground flaxseeds (Omit for lower carbs, best with)
    —> In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, oat flour (if using), nut butter and sweetener together. If using stevia / splenda, you’ll need more water than if using honey or agave.
    —> Scoop out the dough, shape into 5 bars and add to a sheet lined with parchment paper, refrigerate for 30-40 minutes to firm up.

    Per bar (varies with protein powder):
    Calories:160
    Fat: 8
    Protein: 20
    Carbs: 11
    Fiber: 5
    Sugar: 2

    these are really good, not sure how low in carbs they are since they have nuts and some dried fruit though

    bump! Looking for recipes too.

    I once did a good protein bar.
    It was a mishmash of different stuff i found online:
    2 cups of oat,
    2 cups of dried fruits and nuts (i used 1/4 cup almond, 8 pitted dates 3 figs and cranberries),
    1/3 cup peanut butter (i used 6 tbsp of P2B powder with water),
    1 tbsp of honey
    3 scoops of chocolate whey protein powder,

    processed it all then added around 1/4 cup of fat free milk.
    I suggest adding milk really slowly and mixing well before adding some more.
    Lined a form with parchment paper then poured it on.
    made 8 thick bars. you can control the size.
    I then baked it for 20 min at 350.
    It is however high in carbs because of all the dried fruit, but you can add less fruits or nuts you like

    Choc. Peanut butter cups
    - gluten free
    - high protein, almost no carbs, only good fats
    - The servings are for a large butter cup, we made them in muffin tins. If you use regular butter cup (sizes) you will have about 36 servings with these ingredients (nutritional facts :3, would be 12 cal for each butter cup)

    Ingredients (12 large chocolate protein peanut butter cups / muffin size)
    2.5 scoops (50 g) chocolate protein powder
    2 tbsp pure unsweetened cocoa powder
    Stevia (add to taste)
    240 ml (8 oz) water (or almond milk, low fat milk, …)
    12 teaspoons Peanut butter (all natural)

    Directions
    Blend all the ingredients except the peanut butter together. Remove from blender and let it sits for 5 min.
    Poor a bit (1cm – 1/2inch) chocolate protein mixture into silicon muffin cups.
    Top each with a teaspoon of natural peanut butter.
    Poor a bit (1cm – 1/2inch) chocolate protein mixture on top of the peanut butter.
    Freeze for an hour (or more).
    Take one or two out of the freezer, let them sit for 5 min and enjoy.

    Nutritional facts (1 large chocolate protein peanut butter cups / muffin size, if you use regular butter cup (sizes) you can divide the nut. facts by 3. Would be 12 cal for each butter cup)
    Energy: 53 cal
    Protein: 5 g
    Carbohydrates: 1.3 g (sugar 0.7 g)
    Fat: 3.3 g (saturated 0.4 g)
    Fiber: 0.8 g
