Spiced Protein Fiber Bars [Gluten-Free Recipe]

By

It’s strange to admit, but we all like to be regular.

I mean that in the most TMI way possible.

Fiber.  Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Fiber helps you poop.  It’s strange to admit to in public, but being regular is nothing but good.  These Spiced Protein Fiber Bars are loaded with fiber, which helps you stay regular, which is good. #strangebutgood

Spiced Protein Fiber Bars

The oat fiber, flax, coconut flour, and maca in these bars are great sources ‘o fiber.  They also happen to taste good when mixed together with some vanilla protein and spices.

Entirely on accident, I made these gluten-free and vegan.  Not to mention low carb.  What’s even better is that they freeze well.  Life is hectic.  I’m not entirely sure what time zone I’m living in.  Much like a good poo, quick grab-and-go snacks are golden.

In other regularity news, I’ve also found my daily gelatin to be invaluable.

Back to the bars though.  They’re also good with chocolate-avocado “icing.”  Just mash up 1/4 of an avocado, a tablespoon of cocoa powder, some cinnamon, and 405 drops of vanilla liquid stevia.  If you like it spicy, make it Mexican chocolate icing with  sprinkle of cayenne!

Spiced Protein Fiber Bars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.  Slowly pour in wet ingredients. Add additional milk (or water) as needed – the mixture will thicken quickly.  The dough should be stiff, forming a large ball.
 
Divide dough evenly into greased tins, filling to the edge. Press top to flatten.  Bake for 15 mins, until top is golden brown and edges are firm.  Remove from over and allow to cool completely.
 
Refrigerate or freeze for storage.

  2. These sound similar to the Chickpea Protein Bars I shared way back and am still baking every week so I’d be all up for these. By the way: I obviously don’t eat it but I never knew everybody was having gelatin to stay regular!
    Well, my diet is largely based on produce, legumes and whole grains – read: fiber with a side of fiber topped with fiber. Any guesses on me being regular 😉 ??

  3. Yay I can join for a change!!! Wooohoooo! These bars sound good, I love lots of different flavors in my food, and ginger especially is so good for you! Yum! Have a wonderful weekend Laura!

  6. these sound way better than most fiber alternatives, which either taste like cardboard or have highly questionable ingredients. I have a high fiber diet, even as a Crohn’s patient, and the “low residue” diet that they put you on for procedure prep messes me up SO BAD.

    • Oy. I hear you on the bad texture or crap ingredients. I can’t believe how many Fiber One bars I used to eat!

  9. Just pinned these. Thankfully, I never seem to have any issues with regularity. I may be too regular LOL. These look so good. I still haven’t tried maca. I’m afraid it’ll be another thing I buy and fail to use.

  11. I knew this recipe looked like one I would love!:) Aren’t the combo’s here yummy!?:) Thanks for the mention !!:)

  16. I realized we were super close when my husband and I starting sharing how “regular” or not, we are with one another. I’ve never heard of oat fibre before. Checking it out!

  17. Sometimes I feel like we’re on the same page. As soon as I read Fiber I thought.. hrm a poop post LMAO. You should have heard me laugh when I kept reading. That’s why I love visiting your blog

  20. Yum I love treats that help 🙂 I used to add psyllium husk to all my baked goods but my naturopath told me that its better alone 🙁 Hope you have a great weekend xo C

    • Ok… but just talking abut shitting right? I’m not going for a night out of shitting with you. 😉
