Super Seed Chocolate Protein Bars. Vegan Glutenfree Recipe

Easy Super Seed chocolate Protein Bars. Vegan gluten-free Recipe

Happy Monday you all!

Hubbs is training to summit Mt Rainier this Summer(3 day round trip). He goes for long Hikes every weekend. The past few weeks, he has been bored the protein bars. He picks up varieties from here and there, but a lot of them are similar. Some of them also don’t work out well with the odd additives in them. He isn’t too fond of protein powders and smoothies(which anyway do not survive long hikes). Hence, these bars. 

These bars are full of seeds, can be made without nuts, are smaller servings and very liked by hubbs who was tired of eating date and nut based bars. Super easy to put together as well. 

Change them up to add some dates for volume and also so the bars can hold more seeds. Make them raw with coconut oil and cocoa or change them up to preference. 

We now have to figure out high calorie meals for him. Hikers and travelers, any tips will be appreciated!

Each 2 bite bar has 6 gms of protein.  If you make these larger like a 50 gm protein bar then About 12 gms protein per bar.

        180 cals for each of 8 bars which is=1440cals for whole mixture…..then if we cut it into 15 bars it will be 96 cals each 😁

    Wow, these look awesome, and so much protein! Homemade protein bars are just so much better, with the added bonus of being customizable (to add extra chocolate of course). 😀

    I made these with an unsweetened chocolate bar (what I had in the cupboard) and it turned out great. I used honey instead of maple syrup. Not a vegan. Yum!

      sure, if you like the dark bitter taste. you can add a bit of sweetener/sugar to balance it out if needed. i’ve made them with half choc chips and half 70% dark chocolate

    Very nice, used organic cacao butter and paste instead of chocolate. Coconut nectar, some activated buckwheats. Will drop the coconut oil on the next batch.

    Love that these have no dates! I get tired of those too. Can you tell me the purpose of the milk? Could a nut butter be heated with the oil and maple instead? Or would that be too thick then? Thanks again for the great recipes!

      yes you can use nut butter. its to melt the chocolate. mix the oil nut butter and chocolate really well. Add less of the seeds and protein powder and the mixture will already be a bit thicker.

    Thanks so much for posting this! I admit I modified this recipe a ton based on what I had on hand, but it was a fantastic jumping off point for me (basically I subbed oats & oat flour for all the seeds). Next time I may try to find some ways to cut back on the fat but I was pretty happy with the overall nutrition profile.

    I just made this for the second time this week. My first batch was crazy sticky and spread too thin. Still delicious.

    This time, I substituted 4 tbsp of basic Chia Seed pudding for the non-dairy milk, chia and half the maple syrup. This batch is a winner!!

    *Chia seed pudding is chia, non-dairy milk, vanilla and maple syrup.
