These high protein copycat Twix bars are one of my favorite weekly dessert recipes to make! They are packed with nutritious ingredients and are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, & refined sugar free.
This was inspired by my Protein Reese's Squares that were a hit over on TikTok and Instagram. And for good reason-they're so tasty!

Substitutions
If you want to substitute ingredients, here are a few I have tried myself.
- Peanut Butter - instead of peanut butter, you can use any nut or seed butter
- Protein Powder - use more almond flour if you do not have protein powder
- Maple syrup - the maple syrup can be replaced with honey, date syrup, or any liquid sweetener you like
Storage
Store the bars in the fridge for up to 4 days and then move to freezer.

What kind of protein powder do you use? You mentioned two different flavors. But different brands taste really different. Wondering what you use that works and tastes good. Thanks
