Protein bars are our daily companions. Whether on the train, at the gym, after work, or as a quick snack - the bars are a small protein and energy boost in everyday life. And quite often, the package ends up empty sooner than expected, and you find yourself googling “make protein bars yourself” again.
We’ve got you! Here’s our protein bar recipe, and pssst: We’re pros at this. So you can trust us.
Let’s get started with our make-your-own protein bar workshop!

Zubereitung
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius, using conventional heat.
Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan on the stove or in the microwave.
Then add the coconut oil, milk alternative, nut butter, and your flaxseed egg, and knead until you have a proper dough.
You're almost there: Now simply place this mixture on a baking sheet and press it down firmly with a spoon (important!) so that it is about 1.5 cm high.
Now bake the protein bars for 15-20 minutes, until they look golden brown.
After baking, all you have to do is let the bars cool, cut them into bar shapes, and your breakfast for the next few days is ready.
If you like, you can garnish your bars with some melted dark chocolate, nut butter, and other toppings (berries…).
Recipe Note
It is best to store the bars well wrapped in the refrigerator and consume them within the next few days!
Making protein-rich bars yourself can be this easy!
Variations
The great thing about this recipe is that there are endless variations of this delicious protein bar. Simply swap the protein powder, special ingredients (nuts,…) and toppings and create your own type of bar. This way, you can make all kinds of protein bars yourself - whether chocolatey or fruity, anything is possible.
Need inspiration? Here are my favorites:
Chocolate: a chocolatey version with chocolate protein powder and cacao nibs or melted chocolate as a topping
Berries: fruity and fresh with berry protein powder and a handful of dried berries
Hazelnut: pleasantly nutty with hazelnut protein powder, chopped hazelnuts, and nut butter
Banana: super sweet with banana protein powder and dried banana pieces
Tropical: exotic with dried fruit pieces (pineapple, mango, …) - an instant holiday feeling
Cinnamon: festive with cinnamon protein powder and dried apple pieces
Neutral: completely neutral for every taste - with neutral protein powder and other ingredients of your choice

About this recipe
We love protein bars! That's why we're fully committed to making protein bars ourselves - you can find our result here.
What makes our vegan protein bar recipe so special?
They're delicious - that's the most important thing!
The oats are rich in fiber!
Vetain's protein powder makes the bars really high in protein!
The flaxseed egg contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids and provides an extra protein boost.
The nuts and seeds contain healthy fats and are also rich in protein - you can see that protein is a major focus here - it's no coincidence that our bars are called protein bars.
To me, these are the best protein bars of all the protein bar recipes I have ever tried.
Have you changed your mind and decided you don't feel like baking and making protein bars yourself after all? No problem! Then take a look at our shop for vegan protein products and browse through our protein bar section.

Ingredient substitution table
How often do we want to recreate a recipe, but are missing certain ingredients or don't like individual components? For this case, we've created an ingredient substitution table for you so that you can adapt the recipe to your liking! Simply replace individual ingredients as desired!
coconut oil → nut butter (heated so that it becomes more liquid)
flaxseed egg → chia egg or chicken egg
vegan protein powder → other protein powders
plant-based milk alternative → milk in all forms and varieties, both plant-based and animal-based
maple syrup → honey, agave syrup, or anything else that's sweet
rolled oats → other rolled grains
Our protein bars are vegan, but of course you can also use animal-based ingredients if you like! That's the great thing about making protein bars yourself - you can adapt them to your own preferences.
