The Keto Ingredients in Keto Protein Bars

Keep reading for more details on the ingredients, substitutes and step by step instructions on how to make our delicious keto protein bars

Keto Protein Powder – I use an unflavored Whey Protein Isolate. You can choose from your best keto protein powders both flavoured or unflavored for this recipe.

Sukrin Syrup – You will need a sticky keto sweetener like Sukrin Gold to make these bars. It is what holds the bar together.

MCT Oil – I use MCT Oil but you can use coconut oil or a neutral taste olive oil if preferred.

Chefs Tip!

Tip #1 – Don’t add all the WPI at once.

I like to add about three-quarters of the powder and add as I mix the protein bars.

It makes it easier to mix and allows me to judge whether I need more. Some WPI powders are more absorbent. If the mixture is dry add some more syrup or oil to make it smooth.

Tip #2 – Mix with your hands. I put on gloves and mix this way. It helps make a better smoother bar and you can feel if the mixture needs more of any particular ingredients.

How to Make Keto Protein Bars

Step 1. Heat the syrup. It doesn’t need to be too hot, especially if you are mixing by hand. If you do not have a microwave this can be done over a saucepan of simmering water.

Step 2. Add the ingredients to the bowl. (See above for tips).

Step 3. Mix with gloved hands until it is smooth. It should stick together and be slightly sticky.

Step 4. Line a slice tray with cling film and press the mixture into the tray evenly. As you can see from my picture I chose to top with extra toasted almonds. Cover and chill. Cut into bars or bites and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe yields approximately 12 servings. Actual number of servings will depend on your preferred portion sizes. The bars can easily be made into smaller bite size portions.

To calculate the weight of one serving, prepare the recipe as instructed. Weigh the finished recipe, then divide the weight of the finished recipe by 12. Result will be the weight of one serving. 

Nutritional values shown are guidelines only. They are for 1 serving using the ingredients listed. Actual macros may vary slightly depending on product brand and types of ingredients used. 

I do not use weight per portion for the nutritional as it would require exacting ingredients and uniform bars and ingredients distribution in each bar e.g. does each bar have exactly 15 pieces of almond weighing X. This is why recipes are based on the ingredients used and divided into portions as a rough guide only!

All recipes have been tested using all of the cooking methods included by various recipe testers.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days. Alternatively, store in an airtight container and freeze.
