I’ve gotten a lot of requests from readers to come up with a homemade keto protein bar recipe, and this one is super quick and easy.
You simply stir all of the ingredients together to form a dough, shape into bars or squares, and refrigerate or freeze until chilled.
They’re great for an on-the-go snack, with 10 grams of protein and under 2 grams net carbs per bar.
Feel free to use your favorite protein powder, and the recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you want to make up a big batch for meal prep.

Keto Protein Bars
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup nut butter of choice
- 3 tbsp protein powder (I used this one)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp granulated erythritol (Regular sugar also works)
- optional 4 oz sugar free chocolate chips
- optional add-ins of choice, such as chia seeds or hemp hearts
Instructions
- Be sure to use a protein powder that you like, as some protein powders have an artificial aftertaste. I prefer unsweetened protein powder here but feel free to experiment, and adjust sweetener accordingly. To make the recipe, stir everything except chocolate together to form a dough. Shape into bars with your hands. If desired, dip in melted chocolate (I usually stir 2 tsp oil into the melted chocolate for a smoother sauce, but it's not required). Chill to set.

These look amazing! I don’t love my current protein powder in smoothies, but I might really like it in these (If not, the kids will eat them =P)
I’m pregnant and really struggling to hit my protein goal everyday, so I’m really excited to add these into my diet 🙂
I love Katie’s recipes so was super excited for this one. I tried to mush the mixture into bars but the ratio was off so it didn’t work too well as the peanut butter just stuck to my hands like crazy. I ended up adding a half-cup oats and then I was able to work with it. Tasty as always!!
I made these the other day and am keeping them in the freezer as a crunchy snack during the day. They are delicious! I added some rice krispy cereal for some crunch, and hemp seeds for added nutrition, and they’re awesome. They were very sticky so I had to drizzle the melted chocolate over them – next time will double the chocolate so they coat the entire bar! Love this recipe, thank you!!
How long do these take to set?
These are incredible!
what am i missing? even in the freezer they don’t firm up
I made it again, but added coconut flour and it worked a lot better.
They’re amazing! I just wish there was nutrition facts!!
Hi, there are nutrition facts under the ingredients/instructions 🙂
These are amazing and a lifesaver! They help me reach my protein goals while staying within my macros and they are a lovely treat too. So good to know what has gone into the protein bar I am eating! There’s no going back now. Thank you for this recipe!
I love this idea but the recipe ratio isn’t working for me for some reason. They are just super goopy and never set up. The only thing I changed was I left out the sugar and used a couple of drop of Stevia instead. Any thoughts on why this didn’t work for me?
Hi, what specific ingredients are you using?
Almond butter, protein powder, salt, stevia and chocolate chips. I was just thinking it might have been that the almond butter was too creamy?
What protein powder? Maybe it’s the brand you used, and you just need to add more?
Garden of Life Pure Protein Powder. I’ll try adding more and I’ll also try a chunkier nut butter 🙂 Thank you!
Me too it’s crazy…I’ll try another type of nutbutter instead of PEANUTBUTTER.
