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.
Take a cinnamon bun and a caramel slice and merge it together in a keto protein bar and magic is made! Real magic!
I have to say that these protein bars have quickly become a favourite of mine. They are ridiculously easy to make. Are ready in less than 10 minutes and totally hit my “sweet” spot.
This week while being on a sweetener free week is especially hard when I had to edit these pictures and I will say it really is an eye opener as to how much I truly love these bars.
CINNAMON BUN PROTEIN BAR INGREDIENTS
You may have already noticed most of my low carb protein bar recipes are pretty easy to make. However I do use Sukrin syrups.
To create a great tasting sugar free protein bar you need s sticky ingredient to bind them. Currently there is no other products similar to the viscosity of Sukrin syrups in Australia. Sukrin syrups are very low carb and work in sweets similar to how golden syrup, honey or glucose syrup do, but without the sugar.
Use the links provided to source the Sukrin syrups or sweeteners to make these bars, because in Australia at this time there are no low carb alternatives.
- 180 g Sukrin Gold Fiber Syrup click the link for the ONLY supplier in Australia
- 120 g whey protein isolate I use Isopure
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- crushed walnuts
- 1 tbsp MCT oil
HOW TO MAKE KETO PROTEIN BARS
When making the cinnamon protein bars, I do where a glove to massage the mix to get a great consistency.
If the mix is a bit grainy add a little more MCT and massage in well until you have a slightly tacky but nougat-like consistency.
When the consistency is achieved transfer to a clingfilm lined baking tray and press the protein bar mixture into the tin. Cover with plastic and press again to smooth over. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before slicing into shape

Tap or hover over number to scale ingredientsIngredients
- 180 g Sukrin Gold Syrup click the link for the ONLY supplier in Australia
- 120 g whey protein isolate
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp crushed walnuts
- 1 tbsp MCT oil
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 to combine.
- 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. I use a piece of cling film over the top and press flat and smooth with my hands.
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 to the mix.
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.
