    Banana Protein Bars

    Easy homemade Banana Protein Bars naturally sweetened with banana make the perfect nourishing snack to fuel you all all week!

    sliced banana protein bars with chocolate chips

    Hi, I'm a new mom and now I can never have enough bars.

    I go to pump and I MUST HAVE thirty seven snacks. The bedside table is bursting at the seams with portable sustenance.

    If you're a Hummusapien regular, you may already love my Cookie Dough Protein Bars and Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bars. There is no shortage of snack recipes around here.

    How to make homemade protein bars

    Making homemade protein bars is crazy easy and super affordable versus buying store bought! Pssst--they're quicker to make than you'd think.

    1. Blend oats, protein, coconut flour, hemp seeds, walnuts, salt and cinnamon in a food processor.
    2. Add banana, honey and vanilla and process until a sticky dough forms.
    3. Press into a loaf pan and top press in chocolate chips.
    4. Freeze, slice, EAT!

    Ingredient tips and substitutions

    With almost five grams of fiber, eight grams of protein, and less than ten grams of protein per bar, we're killin' the nutrition game! I love that these bad boys aren't super sweet. Cuz you know a brownie or three is happening later.

    • Old fashioned oats: Lotsa oats for texture, nutrition, and toasty flavor. Use certified gluten free if needed. Don't use instant or steel cut here! Great for milk production, too.
    • Walnuts: Super nutty and loaded with brain-boosting omega-3 fatty acids. Here for it!
    • Vanilla plant protein: For a protein boost and extra sweetness. My favorites are blends of brown rice and pea protein like this or this. I have not tried these with whey. If you don't have protein powder, you should be able to sub any combo of oats, ground flax or almond flour, but they will be a lot less sweet. These bars are not super sweet as it is.
    • Coconut flour: I love this stuff because it's so high in fiber. It's crazy absorbent, like a sponge. Since it's so unlike any other flour, I don't recommend subbing it out. Readers have said ground flax works, too!
    • Hemp seeds: A complete protein with all nine essential amino acids. If you don't have hemp seeds, you could try chia seeds or coconut.
    • Honey: For a hint of extra sweetness. Maple syrup or agave will also work, but I like that honey is thicker and a bit sticky. Totally optional.
    • Banana: Very necessary for banana bread protein bars! Use extra ripe ones since they're the main sweetening agent.
    • Vanilla extract + cinnamon: For authentic banana bread flavor!
    • Chocolate chips: I never make banana bread without chocolate chips. Do you?? Chocolate is a must. You can drizzle or just dot with the chips if you're going for easy breezy.

    Which protein powder is best?

    I always go with plant-based protein powder so I can't vouch for how they'd taste with whey. If you try it, holler in the comments! This and this are my favorite plant-based protein powders.

    You want one that's sweetened versus unflavored, as that contributes to the overall taste of these bars. If less sweet bars are your jam, feel free to try unsweetened protein.

    If you don’t have protein powder, you can try swapping it out for more oats, or even throw some ground flaxseed in there!

    How to store bars

    I like to store these banana protein bars in the freezer because I think the texture is amazing. If they're too hard right out of the freezer, let them sit for a bit at room temp to soften up.

    You can store a few at a time in the fridge, but know that they'll get more brown since the banana will oxidize.

    You can also roll these into balls if ya like! The sky is the limit, frands.

    Description

    Easy no-bake Banana Protein Bars naturally sweetened with banana and a bit of honey make the perfect nourishing snack to fuel you all all week. Like banana bread in bar form, with almost 5g of fiber and 8g of protein!


    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • 1 cup walnuts (can sub almonds, pecans, or cashews)
    • 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats
    • ⅓ cup vanilla plant protein powder
    • ¼ cup coconut flour* (can sub ground flax)
    • ¼ cup hemp seeds
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • heaping ¼ tsp fine sea salt
    • 1 cup mashed overripe banana (2 medium bananas)
    • 2 tbsp honey (optional)
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    Optional topping:

    • 2 tbsp chocolate chips
    • ½ tsp coconut oil

    Instructions

    1. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper hanging over the sides and set aside. To help the parchment paper stick, you can spray the pan with cooking spray first.
    2. Place walnuts, oats, protein, coconut flour, hemp seeds, cinnamon and salt in the food processor and blend until the walnuts are broken down into small pieces. Add banana, honey and vanilla and process until a dough forms, scraping down the sides as needed. It will be very thick and slightly sticky and may seem wet at first but the coconut flour and oats will quickly thicken it. Press mixture evenly into prepared pan.
    3. If desired, you can press a handful of chocolate chips into the bars like the photos, or make a chocolate drizzle. Make drizzle by placing chocolate chips and oil in a small bowl. Melt in 20 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth. Use a fork to drizzle chocolate on top of bars.
    4. Freeze for 1-2 hours, or until set, before slicing into 8-10 bars. Store in the freezer and let them sit a bit at room temperature before eating to soften up if needed.

    Notes

    *Do not substitute coconut flour for another flour---it is very unique and absorbent and not a 1:1 sub. This is what helps thicken the bars. If you don't have coconut flour, readers have said ground flaxseed works. I have not tested this recipe with whey protein.

    This recipe was originally posted on April 6, 2014 and updated on March 2, 2021. Original recipe: ½ cup pitted dates, ½ cup mashed banana, ½ cup walnuts, ½ cup almonds, 1 cup oats, ½ cup protein powder, 2 tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp cinnamon. Directions: Blend dates, banana, and vanilla in food processor until very smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and proceed with the directions above.

      Just made these and they are sooo yummy and easy! I ate one straight out of the freezer and it thaws out perfectly while you eat it haha. I subbed chocolate collagen for the protein and cashews for the walnuts and it turned out great. Tastes like chocolate banana cookie dough. Added bonus they're cheaper than store bought bars!

      I have made just about every no-bake ball and bar recipe on this website, and this is one of my favorites! The cinnamon takes these to another level, and they truly taste like banana bread. So worth whipping out the food processor.

        Hey there, yep--the half cup of dry ingredient (protein) would need to be replaced so they hold up. I have not tried this recipe without protein powder so I cannot verify the results, though. The protein also adds flavor and sweetness. I would guess you could try oat flour instead? LMK if you try!

      Best protein bars that I've made, I was worried they would be too banana-y but it was much more subtle, like banana bread for sure. Will have to make a double batch of these next time!

      Well, I broke my food processor making these but the mix tasted amazing. They are currently in the freezer waiting to be cut. I didn't add the protein powder and thought better to leave them plain even though I had chocolate chips on hand. It tastes exactly like banana bread. Yum!

        They'll be less sweet since most protein powders are sweetened with stevia. I would add some oats or something to make up for it so they hold together!

        Hi Jessie! Awww I'm so glad! The protein powder gives these bars a lot of sweetness, so I don't think you'd want to go with this recipe sans the protein. Maybe you could do ground oats and then add some dry sweetener or stevia?

      After gastric bypass surgery almost 19 years ago, I am forever looking for quick & easy high protein snacks. Making my own bars never occurred to me. This seems so easy and delic!!!
      Few questions: 1) how do they hold up when thawed in refrig? 2) will they hold up at room temp? 3) don't have food processor, can I use blender?

        Good for you, Etta! Unfortunately, you need a food proccesor to break up the dates for this recipe and combine everything. I use mine alllll the time (nut and date bars, black bean brownies, veggie burgers, etc). They will be perfectly fine in the fridge. They'll be softer at room temp, but they'll still hold together!

      Passed this along to my client, who is about to start making her own bars, because she is looking for new snack options. This will be perfect for her and really hoping she'll share some with me. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thanks for sharing! XOXO

      these look delicious I definitely want to give them a try. Overall i'm not a huge fan of protein powder either but these look like they are mainly made up of yummy whole foods! yay for no boyfriends..definitely in that club with ya ๐Ÿ™‚ I was also laughing at people at work commenting on you eating weird stuff because at my job this summer as a waitress that happened to me all the time haha girls gotta eat!

      I'm so excited to make these! Could I use vanilla Vega One? Or would it change the taste too much? Thanks!! ๐Ÿ™‚

        Definitely! I think any vanilla protein powder (sweetened) would be just fine!

      These sound fantastic and I LOVE that they are no-bake. These truly will be perfect once the 100 degree weather hits...if it ever does ๐Ÿ˜‰

      I've already made the decision that men are easily replaced by food (<- does that make me sound jaded), so I'm WAAAAAY on board with these naner nut bars! I've never made a protein bar but have been meaning to, considering I'm in the same banana boat as you when it comes to getting ravenous mid-day. LOVE these! They look absolutely perfect.

      YES PUHHHHLEASE. I am on my third batch of the cinnamon roll bars but these will be next! One benefit to Curt being kidnapped by work is he isn't home to eat all my food. Not that the bars last longer than 2 days anyway.

      P.s. have you ever tried sundried red bananas? If not I WILL SEND YOU SOME. we use them in Kewaza and I legit have an O when I eat them.

      My only beef with this recipe is that chocolate chips are NEVER optional ๐Ÿ˜› Banana bread anything is amazing, but chocolate chip banana bread anything is even more win ๐Ÿ˜€

        You're so right. When is chocolate ever optional?! I should have written "required." And doubled the amount.

      These so remind me of larabars, but I'm sure they're much better! They look amazing and I'd love them to bring to work for a morning snack.

      What is with you and Davs whipping the damn food processor for everything? I NEED ONE.

      Also the cinnamon roll bars AND these ones too. Banana bread- Have you ever tried the GNU bars? I tried one in america which claimed to taste like banana bread in a bar. It tasted like lies.
