Just amazing Tiramisu Protein Bars with a protein base, coffee caramel and cream layer! These easy, healthy tiramisu bars are sugar free, gluten free and low fat too!

The whole coffee and creaminess in the Tiramisu is just so good, and those flavors really came through here in this no bake snack recipe. All the good stuff here in terms of flavor and ingredients too.

Fiancė and I both had two at a time, so this entire batch was gone in 2 days. No regrets at all.

Ingredients for Tiramisu Protein Bars Recipe:

These Tiramisu protein bars are made with simple healthy ingredients, have no sugar or milk, making them the perfect homemade gluten free, low carb and Vegan protein bar!

Oat Flour
Graham Cracker
Vanilla Protein Powder for healthy homemade protein bars that’s also sugar free
I used HTLT Supps Vanilla Whey-Caesin here.
Quest Nutrition Vanilla Milkshake is another option.
Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly lower carb high protein. I use the Multi-purpose mix protein powder from Quest Nutrition.
Some Coconut Flour
Unsweetened Almond Milk

The Protein Coffee Caramel

Cashew Butter for the caramel flavor.
I used American Dream Nut Butter; They have a Caramel Crunch Cappuccino Almond Butter that would go great here too (The link gives you a discount).
Peanut Butter Powder, also known as Powdered Peanut Butter. I recommend Lakanto for a sugar free version (the code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount). Or you could use the one from PbFit too.
Vanilla Protein Powder for high protein caramel bar, and also replace the sweetener.
I recommend Whey-Casein from HTLT Supps or Quest Nutrition for this recipe to keep it sugar free.
Some more Unflavored Protein Powder: Multi-purpose mix from Quest again.
Sugar free Maple Syrup for low calorie protein bar with no sugar!
I use the sugar free monk fruit maple syrup from Lakanto (code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount)
Instant Coffee
Some Water
A bit of Vanilla Extract

The Protein Cream Cheese Layer

Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
Non-fat Greek Yogurt
Vanilla Protein Powder; This is the source of sweetness in the protein cream for this layered dessert. No added sugar in this recipe. HTLT Supps or Quest again here.
Some Coconut Flour

Tips to make Easy Tiramisu Bars with Protein Powder

These protein powder tiramisu bars are extremely easy to make for a fitness snack, with just making one layer at a time. Here’s some tips to get them right!

Use whey-casein and whey protein powder when specified. It works well with the ratio of ingredients here.
Whey-casein absorbs more liquid, and whey absorbs less, so you need to adjust the liquid accordingly.

Add milk or water little at a time when preparing mixtures; Even a little extra will make them too runny.

Mix the dry ingredients well before adding in the wet so you have a smooth mix.

For No Bake Tiramisu Bars:

These bars can easily be turned into a no bake recipe by just skipping the step for baking the base. Instead, use less milk and transfer the pan to the freezer to harden a bit.

To store Macro-friendly Tiramisu Bars

These homemade macrofriendly tiramisu bars need to be stored in the fridge since they have milk in there.

To store this easy tiramisu recipe, place bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a 1 week.

To freeze, place healthy tiramisu bars in airtight sealed container, or individually wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in zipper bag; They should keep for 2 or 3 months. Be sure to let them thaw on the counter before eating!

Alternatives for Healthy Tiramisu Bars!

I made these sugar free and gluten free and low fat Tiramisu bars with this particular ingredient list, but here’s some healthy options to choose from.

For the protein base:

Graham Crackers: Crushed cereal like cheerios, or other plain-tasting crackers
Unflavored protein powder: Almond flour or Oat flour
Coconut flour: Try using about ⅓ cup of Almond Flour
Almond Milk: Regular milk or other non dairy milk

For the Protein Coffee Caramel:

Cashew Butter: Almond Butter, Hazelnut Butter or Tahini; I don’t recommend peanut butter since it has a very strong taste.
Peanut Butter Powder: Almond butter powder or 3 Tbsp regular peanut butter/almond butter (reduce the water to 1 Tbsp in this case)
Unflavored protein powder: 1 Tbsp Coconut Flour
Sugar free Maple Syrup: Regular maple syrup or Honey, but they won’t be Vegan or a no sugar recipe anymore.

For the Protein Cream Layer

Reduced Fat Cream Cheese: Regular cream cheese or a dairy free version
Greek Yogurt: Coconut Yogurt
Coconut Flour: Maybe ⅓ cup Almond Flour
