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

.......C'mon people! Nobody has any low-carb protein bar recipes?!?!?0 -
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.
RECIPE: http://quicheaweek.wordpress.com/2012/10/07/protein-bars-no-bake-and-baked-versions/
macros:
Per bar with raisins & goji berries, no chocolate: 154 calories // 13g carbs // 7g fat // 11g protein // 3g fiber // 4g sugar
Per bar with raisins & goji berries, chocolate covered: 180 calories // 16g carbs // 9g fat // 11g protein // 5g fiber // 4g sugar
Add ons: add 10-15 calories, 1g carbs, 1-2g fat, 0-1g protein or so, depending on what you’re using0 -
Thank you, they look fantastic! Definitely going to try them.
Thanks again0 -

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: 20 -

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 like0 -

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.
