Zubereitung
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat).
Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil in a small pot on the stove or in the microwave.
Then add the coconut oil, milk alternative, nut butter, and your flaxseed egg and knead until you get a proper dough.
You're almost there: Now just spread this mixture onto a baking sheet and press it down firmly with a spoon (important!), so it is about 1.5 cm high.
Bake the protein bars now for 15-20 minutes until they look golden brown.
After baking, just let the bars cool, cut them into bar shapes, and your breakfast for the next few days is ready.
If you like, you can decorate your bars with some melted dark chocolate, nut butter, and other toppings (berries…).
Recipe Note
Store the bars best well wrapped in the fridge and consume them within the next few days!
Making protein-rich bars yourself can be this easy!
Variations
The great thing about this recipe is that there are infinitely many variations of the delicious protein bar. Simply swap the protein powder, special ingredients (nuts, …), and toppings to create your own bar variety. You can make all kinds of protein bars yourself – whether chocolatey or fruity, everything is possible.
Need inspiration? Here are my favorites:
Chocolate: a chocolatey variant with chocolate protein powder and cacao nibs or melted chocolate as topping
Berries: fruity-fresh with berry protein powder and a handful of dried berries
Hazelnut: pleasantly nutty with hazelnut protein powder, chopped hazelnuts, and nut butter
Banana: super sweet with banana protein powder and dried banana pieces
Tropical: exotic with dried fruit pieces (pineapple, mango, …) – direct holiday feeling
Cinnamon: festive with cinnamon protein powder and dried apple pieces
Neutral: completely neutral for all tastes – with neutral protein powder and other ingredients of your choice

About this recipe
We love protein bars! That's why we're fully into making protein bars ourselves – you can find our result here.
What makes our vegan protein bar recipe so special?
They are delicious – that's the most important thing!
The oats are high in fiber!
Vetain's protein powder really makes the bars protein-rich!
The flaxseed egg contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids and gives an extra protein boost.
The nuts and seeds contain healthy fats and are also rich in protein – you can tell that protein is a big focus here – it's no coincidence our bars are called Protein Bars.
For me, these are the best protein bars of all the protein bar recipes I have ever tried.

How often do we want to cook a recipe but are missing certain ingredients or don’t like some components? For this case, we have a substitution table for you so you can adjust the recipe as you like! Simply swap individual ingredients as you wish!
coconut oil → nut butter (warmed to make it more liquid)
flaxseed egg → chia egg or chicken egg
vegan protein powder → other protein powders
Plant-based milk alternative → milk in all forms and varieties, both plant-based and animal-based
maple syrup → honey, agave syrup, or anything else sweet

Our protein bars are vegan, but of course, you can also use animal ingredients if you want! That’s the great thing about making protein bars yourself – you can customize them to your own preferences.
