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.

Too sticky even after leaving in the fridge for a couple of hours before shaping. Any suggestions. I don’t want to add oats because of the carbs.
Hi Karen, depending on what type of nut butter you used and protein powder, you might just need more protein powder. Try that and let us know how it goes!
Thank you! I made these into balls, dipped them and added a bit of sea salt on top and popped ’em in the fridge… Nice treat for the hubby. Very easy too!
What nutbutter you use has only 10grams of carbs per half cup?? You might have miscalculated on that, maybe is 20gr instead of 2gr?
Hi, we are not sure where you’re getting the number 10. Each bar has 3.9g carbs, and it makes 5 bars.
Incredible! Thank you so much
Thank you so much for making them 🙂
These keto protein bars are so good! Thank you for this recipe.
Very delicious but I can’t get them to set up. I added 2tbsp each of coconut and almond flours and I still can’t pick them up easily even after about 5 hours in the fridge. I used (very well stirred) natural peanut butter. Enjoying them but may have to toy around with the ratios more. I’m sure they’ll get there and they are so delicious and easy that it will be worth it!
Just made these bars with almondbutter…still too loose using exact ingredients…includind adding 2 1/2 tablespoons of oats & 1/2 cup of chocolate chips…..seems I need to add more protein powder to make it a bar consistency….because my almondbutter has too much oil in it..
Hi! Different types of protein powders can require tweaking due to differing absorbency – definitely feel free to add more protein powder if your bars need it 🙂
What the heck? What are the total carbs? Not everyone on keto uses net carbs.
Hi, there is a link to full nutrition facts at the bottom of the recipe box 🙂
Be nice!🙂
Can I use Truvani plant based vanilla protein powder? If yes, do I use the same amount as the recipe states?
