Popular Homemade Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars (with Healthy Options …)

Make these blissful peanut butter pretzel snack bars at home, each one loaded with 9 grams of protein. Also note that they are low in fat (only 3 grams per serving) and really high on flavor.


Here are the ingredients you’ll need for 10 bars (substitute crisped rice cereal if you can’t find soy crisps):

3 oz (heaping 5 c) soy crisps
6 tbsp (2 oz) soy protein powder
6 tbsp powdered peanut butter
½ c water
6 tbsp agave
2 tbsp peanuts, roughly chopped
6 mini pretzel twists, roughly chopped
2 tbsp peanut butter chips

Here are the 4 steps to follow:

1. Lightly coat an 8”-square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.

2. Add half of the soy crisps to a blender or food processor, and pulse 3-4 times. Pour into a large bowl and break up any large pieces with your fingers. Repeat with the remaining soy crisps. Add the soy protein powder to the bowl, and stir until evenly distributed.

3. Add the powdered peanut butter, water, and agave to a small pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, for about 3 minutes until it begins to boil. Let it boil for 15-20 seconds before pouring over the soy mixture. Stir with the spatula until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated.

4. Pour the soy mixture into the prepared pan, and carefully press down. In order, sprinkle the peanuts, pretzels, and peanut butter chips over top, pressing each down into the soy mixture. Cut into 10 bars.

Tip: Cut each of the peanut butter chips in half to ensure there’ll be a little bit in every bite.
