Keto Protein Bars – Vanilla nougat
Before jumping to the recipe please note that the below information contains HOT TIPS for this recipe. We try and answer all your questions to guarantee a perfect keto recipe every time.
These Vanilla Nougat Keto Protein Bars are going to be your new favourite recipe by far!
Super low carb bars, that are EXTREMELY easy to make! I have based this recipe on the extremely tasty Smart Protein Bars. If you have tried the Smart Bar and loved it then you will love this low carb bar.
Keto Protein Bars are not hard to make. It does just take a couple of specialty ingredients to come together perfectly.
Vanilla Protein Bar Ingredients
- Sukrin Clear Fiber syrup – there is no substitute in Australia that is low carb and works the same for this ingredient. I think of it as a keto glucose syrup. Anything you ever made made pre-keto with a glucose syrup or honey, you can pretty much make with this syrup. If you purchase buy a bundle of the syrups and the Bakers Pack.
- Isopure Whey Protein Isolate – this low sugar protein powder is amazing in sweets. A neutral flavour and gives consistent smooth results in every recipe I use it in. Yes isolate is different to concentrate and I recommend using the isolate in this keto protein bar recipe.
Making your Own Protein Bars at Home
To give you a reality check on costing out one of these bars versus what the original bar costs lets do the math. A similiar style bar costs around $5.50 retail.
A Mad Creations Nougat Bar costs $1.55 how did I calculate this. This pricing includes the cost of Sukrin Clear Fiber Syrup, one packet of Isopure Protein Powder and includes even a $20 postage fee (which is more than total costs).
It can also be considered that 1 bottle and packet of Isopure Protein Powder makes 36 bars. At this cost if you like to purchase protein bars you would be saving $3.95 per bar. Cheap eats if you ask me, plus you can even make these into smaller bars as well.

Vanilla Nougat Keto Protein Bar – Smart Bar style
Be prepared to fall in love with these Vanilla Nougat Keto Protein Bars. So good!
Calories: 76kcal
Servings: 12 serves
Tap or hover over number to scale ingredientsIngredients
- 160 g Sukrin Clear Fiber Syrup Click the link for the ONLY supplier in Australia
- 130 g whey protein isolate I use Isopure
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp flaked almonds
- 1 tbsp MCT oil optional but makes for a nicer consistency
Instructions
- Heat Sukrin syrup in a medium pyrex bowl in microwave for 30 seconds or until you see it start to bubble.
- Add all ingredients and stir.
- Using your hands really mash these ingredients until it starts to form a sticky but dry consistency.
- Press into moulds of choice or slice tray.
Notes
1. You can flavour these bars with flavoured WPI, or other spices and extracts
2. If your mix turns out a little dry heat more syrup and add
3. The MCT adds a little consistency to the mix, you can substitute liquid coconut oil. If some “bleeds” out of your bars afterwards this is fine and good for you. lol.
4. The carbs in these is very negligible in one bar the total net carbohydrate for the whole mixed batch was under 4g.

Megan these are so good. I made a few changes as I didn’t have all the ingredients but still yummy. I used the sukrin gold syrup instead of the clear, coconut oil instead of MCT and also put them in silicone candy moulds. Even hubby liked them so a winner in our household.
I made this and went back for thirds to make sure it tasted so good and wasn’t me being a guts! And in my head I said Omg I felt guilty but if the whole batch is 4 g net carbs … my guilt appeased and ok just one more piece… try this it is ohhh so good!!
I really enjoy 2 of these at night with a herbal tea 🙊.
I also use Macadamia nuts instead of the slithered almonds. Such a good recipe!
Hello, Looks good! Do you think heated Sukrin Gold would work as I don’t have the syrup? Thank you. 🌻
I dont think it will, even the gold syrup is different in this recipe than the clear
I have pea protein isolate vegan powder as it was on sale at Aldi’s. Could I use this?
You could Chelsea but it may make it crumblier and just taste the protein powder first. If it is nice and neutral in flavour than it should be fine. If it doesn’t taste good then I wouldn’t use it in this recipe as the taste will come through
Can these be frozen? If not, how long would they last in the fridge?
Hey, just wondering as i don’t have a microwave would you heat this up on double boiler or in thermomix? Also just brought 3 books and a microwave used for pastry recipes what method would you suggest??
Thanks Kim
Is there any substitute for the fiber syrup? It contains IMO’s which I’m trying to avoid as they raise blood sugars. Many thanks.
Hi Bridget, I tend to address all substitutions in the blog posts. The Sukrin fibre currently has no keto alternatives in Australia.
Could I use sugar free maple syrup instead of the fiber syrup? Thanks!
Hi Lauren, no it does not work. The SF maple syrup has zero viscosity vs fibre syrup.
I was DESPERATE to try this but didn’t have the syrup… but I did have Inulin! I heated a cup of Inulin with half a cup of water and when it was boiled for a bit and clear I added it to the dry ingredients. The WPI I used stayed soft and really sticky too so I added some micellar that I bought for another recipe. Not too shabby!
That sounds super interesting Tracy I hope you show us what it looks like through social media
