If you'd like to use an unsweetened apple butter here instead of applesauce, just keep in mind that apple butter is more concentrated and will therefore have more carbs.

The icing is made from confectioners erythritol, a natural calorie-free version of powdered sugar.

Give these delicious Apple Pie Protein Bars a try!

Prep Time 15 minutes mins
Cook Time 0 minutes mins
Total Time 15 minutes mins
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

Protein bar:

  • ½ cup natural applesauce 112g
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter 30g
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 ¼ cup vanilla whey protein concentrate 113g
  • ½ cup coconut flour 56g

 

Icing:

  • 2 tablespoons confectioners erythritol 30g
  • 1 ½ teaspoons filtered water

Instructions
 

  • Mix applesauce and almond butter until smooth.
  • Add spices and mix well.
  • Add protein and coconut flour. Mix as much as you can with a fork or spoon, and then use your hands to fully combine the dough.
  • Place on a sheet of parchment paper and form into a rectangle.
  • Wrap the parchment around the dough and refrigerate for a couple of hours until firm.
  • Cut into 4 bars.
  • Mix icing ingredients, and pipe or drizzle over bars.
  • Enjoy! Store extras in the refrigerator.

Notes

Erythritol is a calorie-free natural sweetener, and is not included in the carb count here. Including the carbs adds 7.5g per bar but does not change the calories.
If you'd like to substitute the whey with pea protein or casein, you'll need to add some liquid.

    Hi Rose,
    Unfortunately almond and coconut flours work very differently in recipes and don't make great substitutes. Hopefully you can get your hands on some coconut flour for this recipe!
    Best,
    Andréa
