The perfect grab-and-go keto snack!

There’s a wide variety of protein bars out in the world of keto, but I’m finding many of them either crumble or have a chalky texture. Sometimes they don’t even resemble a protein bar at all!

To save us all time and money, I’ve created a homemade keto cookie dough protein bar. And let me tell you what, this bar was so EASY to make, I’m asking myself why I haven’t done this before!

I went with simple flavors for this bar so the whole family could try it. The easy cookie dough protein bar is soft yet holds together well with the protein powder. It almost resembles the amazing Bhu Keto Bars our team can’t get enough of!

The best part is this recipe requires zero baking so these bars are ready to go in under 15 minutes! Sweet!

Tips for making homemade keto cookie dough protein bars:

  • Customize with your favorite flavors. I created a basic bar but you can add additional flavors to it like nuts or shredded coconut.
  • Pack it tightly. When mixing the ingredients, you’ll notice the texture is loose but once you drop it into the pan, make sure you PRESS FIRMLY to create that dense bar texture.
  • Store airtight in the fridge. Just like any bar, they can sit out at room temperature but will have a longer shelf life if sealed in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

These low-carb bars are perfect to grab while you are running out the door, after a post-workout treat, or anytime you need a little keto-friendly indulgence.

    I just made these I 1/2 the recipe and oh my goodness they are so good!! I will make more!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yay! So glad to hear you enjoyed them! 😋

  2. Kassandra

    Could I replace the almond butter with peanut butter

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Yes! That will work too! Let us know how they turn out for you! 🙌

  3. Natalie

    I just made these and they are delish! Mine won’t hold together as a bar though. Should I add some water or Mct oil? Or more almond butter?

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      So glad that you enjoyed these, Natalie! You could try adding a bit more almond butter, but also be sure to pack the mixture tightly. When mixing the ingredients, you’ll notice the texture is loose but once you drop it into the pan, make sure you PRESS FIRMLY to create that dense bar texture. Hoping this helps! ❤️

  4. Melody Moore

    I’m allergic to coconut flour. Can I omit or do I need to add something in its place?

    • Trish (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Melody! You could add 2 more tablespoons of Almond flour instead. Omitting may change the texture and flavor just a bit, but let us know if you decide to give it a try! 🤗
