Packed with protein 15g of protein and ready in just 5 minutes! These cookie dough protein bars are a copycat homemade Perfect bar recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 2/3 cup vanilla protein powder 2-3 scoops total
- 3 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp whole wheat flour heat treated, see notes
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp water or milk
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare a loaf pan by lightly spraying with non-stick spray then lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine all ingredients, minus the water & chocolate chips and mix until well combined. The mixture should be pretty thick and dense.
- Slowly add in your water (amount will depend on your cashew butter and protein powder density), mixture will become more wet and start to stick together. When it sticks together stop! I recommend going very slow, you do NOT want it to be too wet. You can use more if you need!
- Knead the dough with your hands if needed until it sticks together.
- Add in any mix ins, like the chocolate chips, sprinkles, etc.
- Take the dough and press it into your prepared loaf pan. Press HARD. Use all your might! You want these to be very firm and dense!
- Place in the fridge for 1-3 hours before cutting into 8 bars and enjoying!

May use whatever type of milk and flour you like best or have on hand.
Store in an air tight container for 5-7 days in the fridge, or place in the freezer for a few months.
Get creative and mix in whatever things you like! Try using sprinkles for a funfetti type of protein bar, or add some nuts!
