The matcha version of my perfect bar copy-cat recipe!
Few simple ingredients, a cereal bowl and your hands my friends. Does not get easier than this!
I love that these bars also provide some quick energy as opposed to most protein bars which are low carb / sugar free and they give me NOTHING.
But eat one of these as a snack and it’s a complete food, you’ll feel not only energized but also satiated for a long time.
Not to mention the wake-up factor from the matcha. These bars are PERFECT for breakfast!

Mini-batch Matcha White Chocolate Protein Bars
Servings: 2 squares
Calories: 149kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp nut/seed butter (16 g)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)
- 1/2 scoop any protein powder (15 g) use oat flour if you don't have this
- 1 tsp matcha powder
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips (15 g) df if desired
Instructions
- In a cereal bowl blend nut butter and maple syrup, then add protein. Stir until smooth (kneading with hands if necessary, it should come together but if it doesn't add 1 tsp water – it should not be crumbly).
- Add chocolate chips and shape like a rectangle (I used some parchment to shape it). If you don't want to deal with this just press them into a muffin pan with liners.
- Refrigerate to set, about 30 minutes.
- Cut how you like and enjoy!!

Thanks! This was very easy to assemble but I found it very almost too sweet. Maybe because I added vanilla protein powder? I put some flaky sea salt on top to cut it but maybe should have added salt to the mixture
Hi Jenny,
yes this is one of my sweeter recipes! Mainly because I wanted to keep it super simple, and I was trying to replicate perfect bars which tend to be sweet! You can easily adjust next time by increasing the nut butter and decreasing the maple, just add the dry stuff gradually to hit the right texture. Let me know if you give it a try!
Delicious and simple to make! I made a few adjustments to the amounts based on the protein powder I used. Since my batter was runnier due to my adjustments, I popped it into the freezer rather than the fridge for a bit and they were great partially frozen – such an easy and tasty sweet treat!
Hi Hoi, you adjusted that recipe like a pro, thank you so much for the feedback and for reminding me of these, haha I gotta make some 🙂 enjoy and keep me posted!
