Naked Nutrition’s Peanut Butter Powder

Why this Recipe Works

Peanut Butter Creates the Perfect Base – Providing healthy fats, protein, and a creamy texture that holds everything together without the need for baking.

Peanut Butter Powder Boosts the Protein Content – While intensifying the peanut butter flavor. It also helps absorb excess moisture, giving the bars a firm yet chewy texture.

Honey Acts as a Natural Binder and Sweetener – Helping the bars hold their shape while adding just the right amount of sweetness.

Melted Chocolate Adds a Rich, Indulgent Topping – That transforms a simple protein snack into a treat that feels like dessert.

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 1/2 cup Peanut Butter – Forms the rich, creamy base of the bars while providing healthy fats, protein, and a satisfying texture.

3/4 cup Naked Nutrition Peanut Butter Powder – Boosts the protein content and intensifies the peanut butter flavor without adding excess oil or calories.

1/3 cup Honey – Acts as a natural sweetener and binding ingredient, helping the bars hold their shape.

1 cup Chocolate Chips (Melted) – Creates a delicious chocolate topping that adds sweetness and pairs perfectly with the peanut butter flavor.

2 tsp Oil – Helps the melted chocolate stay smooth and spreadable, creating a glossy topping that is easier to bite into once set.

How to Make Protein Bars Made with Peanut Butter Powder

Put 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 3/4 cup Naked Nutrition peanut butter powder, and 1/3 cup honey into a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.

Press evenly into a 8 x 8 pan.

Melt 1 cup chocolate chips with 2 tsp oil in the microwave, stirring in 30 second intervals until smooth and melted.

Pour over the peanut butter mixture and spread to coat evenly.

Refrigerate until firm, then cut into bars.

Store in the refrigerator.

Adjust the Consistency as Needed – Different peanut butter powders absorb moisture differently. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little extra peanut butter or honey. If it’s too sticky, add a little peanut butter powder.

Chill Before Slicing – Allow the bars to refrigerate for 1-2 hours so they firm up properly and are easier to cut.

Store Them Cold – Because they bars are made with peanut butter and a chocolate topping, they hold their shape best when stored in the refrigerator.

Customize the Flavor – Add mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top to make the bars your own.
