Keto Plant Protein Bars

You’re going to love these plant-based protein bars because they have a mix of nuts and seeds, a dash of peanut butter (but not an overwhelming amount), and just the right amount of sweetness. No protein or granola bar is complete without a chocolate drizzle on top either. This high-protein bar is made with a blend of almond, flax, and pumpkin seeds. They all provide protein, healthy fats, and minimal carbs. You also get Keto fat from coconut oil, almond butter, and peanut butter. Not to mention, nuts, seeds, and nut butter all have a variety of vitamins and nutrients to add to your diet too. Eat one of these protein bars when you need energy in the morning, power before a workout, or recovery after an intense exercise routine. You can eat a protein bar as a snack on the Keto diet as well.

What are the benefits of plant protein powder?

If you’re on a plant-based Keto diet, plant protein powder will be a necessary addition to your kitchen cabinets. While many plant foods provide protein, they also provide carbs. Using pea protein powder is a good way to add hardly any carbs to your diet while still getting protein. Pea protein is made from the fibers of peas, so you’re only eating fiber and the nutrients in it.

Pumpkin seed nutrition

Pumpkin seeds have a lot of the daily nutrients everybody needs: iron, zinc, and magnesium. They have more protein than carbs, plus some healthy fats too. Pumpkin seeds may also be called ‘pepitas’.

Almond nutrition

Almonds are a good source of fat on your plant-based Keto diet. Like pumpkin seeds, almonds also have magnesium, which is good for regulating stress and blood pressure. Almonds have B vitamins, which do a variety of functions for the body, like assisting your body in transporting nutrients to where they need to go.

Recipe Steps

steps 6

1 h 15 min

  • Step 1

    Choose slivered or sliced almonds, or chop your own into small pieces. Combine them with flaxseed and pumpkin seeds. Then, toast the seeds at low heat in a skillet until they become fragrant - about 60-90 seconds.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Add the toasted nuts and seeds to a large mixing bowl. Melt coconut oil in the microwave, then stir it into the warm nuts. While they’re still warm, stir almond butter, peanut butter, honey, and salt into the mixing bowl of nuts and seeds
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Stir the liquid stevia, vanilla extract, and pea protein powder into the granola mixture last. Line a 7x5 rectangular dish with parchment paper, then pour the granola mixture into the dish. Use a spatula to spread the mixture into all four corners of the dish.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Freeze the granola for at least 30 minutes or until firm. Next, make a double boiler on your stove to melt the chocolate chips and the final amount of coconut oil (about 120 chocolate chips = 1 ounce). You may want to double the chocolate and coconut oil you need just to ensure you have enough where it doesn’t burn over the heat.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in the double boiler to make a chocolate sauce. Remove the chocolate from the heat, and stir it to cool it down a little. Drizzle the warm chocolate over the frozen granola.
    Step 5
  • Step 6

    Return the granola to your freezer for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate. Then, use the parchment paper to pull the granola out of the dish. Slice the granola into bars and enjoy. Keep chilled.
