Vegan protein bars with raspberries and chocolate
Jump to Recipe Print RecipeVegan bars made of plantbased protein
without white flour and sugar,
with a fruity raspberry filling
and crispy dark chocolate .
Bought protein bars are often full of additives, sugar and they’re also expensive. So why not just make the protein boosters yourself at home to know exactly what they contain?
In this recipe the little bars are also vegan and super delicious. The fruity raspberries go perfectly with the dark chocolate and the soft, almost creamy bars!

Ingredients
Oatmeal flour
Oatmeal flour is very popular as a healthy alternative to white flour. And fortunately for us, you don’t have to buy this overprized flour, but you can prepare it easily and in a few seconds even at home with the classic oat flakes. To do this, simply mix the flakes in a mixer until a fine flour is produced.
Oat flakes and therefore also their flour is very healthy, as it contains a lot of nutrients. Among them are many dietary fibres, minerals (especially magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc) and vitamins that provide plantbased iron.
Chickpeas
I chose chickpeas as the main source of protein for this recipe because on the one hand they are quite tasteless and can be easily processed into a creamy paste. On the other hand, chickpeas are packed with proteins, iron and calcium, and are therefore similar to animal proteins.
And if you think that the taste of chickpeas doesn’t fit into a sweet treat, try the recipe and let the opposite convince you!
Raspberries
The fruity raspberry filling makes the protein bars really tasty and delicious. You can use raspberry jam or fresh / frozen raspberries. I have a few raspberry bushes at home and in spring and summer these raspberries are picked and then frozen to have a berry stock for the winter!
Dark chocolate
Before you think chocolate on protein bars is out of place and makes everything unhealthy, you should know that a little chocolate a day (preferably dark chocolate with a high cocoa content) is actually healthy!
In an Italian study, it was found that 6. 7 grams per day are optimal and have a positive effect thanks to the cocoa. That would be about one or two pieces or a delicious chocolate coating on your bars. So enjoy the bars without a guilty conscience!
