It’s the healthiest and nutritious vegan protein bars that you can think of. Also it is nothing like a store bought one so it’s as pure as ever. These bars are naturally sweetened and do not contain any high fructose and other unknown ingredients. It’s super easy and serves excellent as a guilt free dessert as well.

The best part of these bars is that these are kid friendly. Well, I can say that confidently because my little one loved it. She especially loves these bars with some sliced bananas and it was one of her favorite dessert. I enjoy these bars as evening snack and sometimes like post workout protein snack. I love the fact that I made these bars without any  processed protein powder and that I powdered the regular hemp seeds at home. This way I saved a lot of nutrients from getting lost in processing. Also, this way I was able to save the essential oils of hemp seeds. Hence, I am totally in love with these bars.

I adapted these nutty yet chewy and moist Banana Hazelnut Protein Bars from one of my very own old blog post. Few years back I created Banana Hazelnut Cookies which were obviously not vegan. However, in my attempt to make it vegan I thought to convert it into vegan protein bars. I love nuts and hazelnuts I think is one the tastiest nuts ever. I have made a protein rich snack recipe with hazelnuts earlier but using hazelnut flour was kind of an experience.

Hazelnut flour/meal does not absorb much liquid and so the measurements become all the more important to follow. Even though it took me a while to bring these vegan protein bars to perfection, I think all my efforts were totally worth it. I used simple and as few ingredients as possible to come up with family friendly vegan protein bars infused with delectable flavors.
