5 Ingredient Sugar Free Cinnamon Protein Bars recipe - These super simple bars use only whole foods and are packed with 15 grams of protein per bar! {flourless, sugar free, gluten free, vegan} | veganchickpea.com
Are you a routine morning person or is everyday a little different? I definitely have variety in my mornings, but no matter what I’m doing, I’m often looking for something super easy, fast and healthy to eat. Fruit is a go-to, but sometimes my body doesn’t want anything sweet right off the bat in the morning… and then I’m left wondering what else will quench my hunger without having to cook.

One day I thought – what if I could just mix together a few ingredients that ensure I get some protein, bake it in the oven and have bars ready to go? Enter these 5 Ingredient Sugar Free Cinnamon Protein Bars. With 15 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber per bar, you’re getting a healthy breakfast or snack that isn’t too sweet, ready in 30 minutes with just 5 – 6 ingredients!

I think this recipe is a great foundation that you can add to if you want something a little more interesting, as these bars are (intentionally) plain. You can try adding in chopped nuts, dried fruit or your choice of sweetener if you prefer. You can also top your bar with jelly or vegan butter. Typically I eat mine plain because I just like to keep it simple and satisfying!

On a personal note, next week I’ll be going to Germany! My parents are flying in to the Netherlands (where I live) from the USA and we’ll be spending about 10 days in southern Germany. I’ve been planning the trip and am really excited… so hope to have some travel reviews and photos to share with you in December or January!

If you’ve been to southern Germany, leave a comment below with any recommendations – I’d love to hear from you! 🙂

      • HI Sarah, I know its a long time since this recipe was originally posted, but you suggest that each bar is 7.5g protein and the nutrition information says 3g protein if you cut it in 4 slices, so that's 1.5g per slice. A whole can of chick peas - surely its more than 1.5g per serving?

  7. Thank you for the recipe, exactly what I was looking for! I was sceptical on how it would taste without any sweeteners and was debating whether to add any or not. I’m glad I tried it without. These are great as is but is also an excellent base. I may try these with fruit for added sweetness. (Or maybe not, I really do like them as is) If I do, do you think frozen fruit will work? Any ideas on a savoury bar?

    • Hi Mich! So happy to hear that you're appreciate these. :-) I don't see why frozen fruit wouldn't work? I think some blueberries, strawberries or mixed berries would be great! If you're a fellow coconut lover, tossing a little shredded unsweetened coconut in there could also be super yummy. For savory... hmm, maybe some chopped toasted nuts or hemp seeds? Typically I love rosemary for a savory flavor (like on potato chips), but I'm skeptical that an herby flavor would go with the sweet bananas + nut butter. Let me know what you try next! :)

  9. HI! I made this, and they are fantastic.. I added a few pitted dates. Can you tell me how many calories you think are in each bar? Thank you! Bethany

    • That's great to hear--glad you love them! I personally use the Carb Manager app to track my macros sometimes, so you can easily put the recipe in there to calculate. Or My Fitness Pal.
