If you've never baked your Quest bar into cookies, you have been missing out! This is a simple, quick way to enjoy the flavor of your favorite Quest bars as cookies!

These make a great, quick, high protein snack. Great for when you're on-the-go, as they store and travel well. I often bake up several bars at a time so they are always ready to go!

If you like this recipe, take the idea up a notch with these Easy Linzer Cookies made with a White Chocolate Raspberry Quest Bar, or these easy Ice Cream Sandwiches. And if you bake half a quest bar into a silicone muffin mold, you can make these Coconut Pineapple Tartlets or these Double Chocolate Pumpkin Pies.

🍪 Ingredients

All you need is a regular Quest bar (not one with coating), or a protein bar made with similar ingredients (store brands are fine!).

👩🏼‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325F (160C).

Cut your quest bar into 8 pieces:

Separate the pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for a few minutes until the pieces puff up:

    Hi Erica,
    Go to their webpage for the protein bars (here). When you scroll over each bar, the naturally sweetened ones say "Sweetened with Stevia Extract and Erythritol." The others have sucralose.
    I like to use date sugar or coconut sugar. For a natural no-calorie sweetener, I like stevia (this one from the Vitamin Shoppe, some others are bitter), and erythritol.
    Hope that helps! And thanks for writing in! :)

    Can you please give more info on which ones have the sucralose? Also when you bake what kind or brand sugar do you typically recommend that is healthy and natural.

    Hi,
    Within a day or so I think they'll be good. I would wrap them in parchment and then in a plastic bag (so they don't stick to the bag). I've also kept them several days only in parchment and then they are perfect for dunking in coffee! :)
    Thanks for writing in!

    hey!
    I'm wanting to bake these and take them out with me for a snack tomorrow, will they stay good or will they go too hard?

    I just made these with the cookies and cream bar and they are excellent! Please no one make the mistake I did, wax paper and parchment paper are not the same! Follow the recipe!

    Hi, I think Quest reduces the calorie count because of the high fiber content. But I calculated the standard 9*(grams of fat) + 4*(grams of carbs) + 4*(grams of protein). Hope that helps to clarify!

    Hey!
    If you've only used quest cookie dough bar which is originally 190 calories, why does the nutrition you've provided is 240 calories?
