Chocolate Protein Bars
It looks like a big batch of sugar-laden brownies, doesn’t it? These aren’t brownies…these are Jamie Eason’s Chocolate Protein Bars. Try them, they are delicious!
Many store-bought protein bars are loaded with sugar and other artificial ingredients. Try making your own so that you have something clean to grab when you are running short on time.
Tips for Making Chocolate Protein Bars:
- These have NO preservatives so they must be stored in the refrigerator
- We eat four at a time so this recipe makes four servings for us
- Use our review of clean protein powders to choose a protein powder that doesn’t have unnecessary ingredients!

Hi, I love your recipies and posts and would like to try your plan but I find your measuring and servings very confusing to follow correctly.
For example on this posts the recipe says yields 12 but then in the macro breakdown serves 16
Whitney Carlson says
Hi Sophie! You are so right this does have the incorrect yield listed. It makes 16 bars because you cut 4 X 4 when using a square pan. When we switched over website platforms I don’t think all of our recipes transferred correctly. I have updated this. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!
Lori says
What do I use instead of baby food?
Whitney Carlson says
You could use unsweetened applesauce.

I make these. They are good and come in handy. Sometimes, immediately upon removal from the oven I stick a few dark chocolate chips into the top, not enough to add calories really but to get a surprise once in a while in a few of the pieces….I also add two tablespoons of ground flax ( I need it) to the dry ingredients. And if I feel decadent and I am eating one at home, I put a dollop of greek yogurt on top. Thanks for the recipe.
