You can probably tell another theme of mine. I love homemade protein bars. If you are looking for the perfect grab and go breakfast idea you've found it! These are also a great healthy snack to have between meals. I'm happy to share my blueberry pecan protein bar recipe with you 🙂

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract,
- 1 teaspoon baking powder,

These look great! I'll be needing something healthy like this after all of this holiday feasting!
Louida
Now this looks very good and easy to make, thanks for sharing your recipe. Pinning for later.

These look so delicious and they're healthy?! I've pinned this to try later. I love protein bars, but ever since I went on a detox diet and try to avoid sugar most days, I've had to rethink the protein bar. This one I can actual eat and enjoy!
Lara
The Gnarly whey is made with stevia so you don't have to worry about adding sugar. I hope you enjoy them!
Leigh Powell Hines
This looks really good. I bet I would enjoy these. But does the whey protein go in it?
Lara
Yes the whey protein goes into the batter 🙂
Ashleigh White
Oh my, I can't wait to try these! Protein + Pecans? A winner for sure!
Tiffany Khyla

these look good! I don't see the whey powder in the ingredients list... How much do you put in?
Lara
I'm so sorry, I left it out on accident! 3 servings of whey with ~25g per serving. I love Gnarly whey but their scoops are baby scoops so 2 of their scoops is the equivalent to 1 normal size serving. I hope this helps!

I never thought to make my own protein bars... I have been trying to find delicious ways to up my protein level - and this looks like a delicious way. I'm personally not fond of Pecans, Can you taste them? Or can you omit them? If Omitted, then do you know roughly how it changes the Protein/fat/etc ratio?
Lara
You can omit them them or exchange them for a different type of nut. The pecans are almost all fat, if I remember correctly they are about 10 calories each (1 gram of fat and like 0.25g protein). I break mine into small pieces. If you don't buy the roasted ones, or don't roast yours before you put them in the bars the flavor should be more mild.
