These no-bake Birthday Cake Protein Bars are soft, chewy, and packed with yogurt, cashew butter, protein powder, oat flour, plus a fun pop of rainbow sprinkles for that classic cake flavor. Naturally sweetened with honey and topped with a drizzle of white chocolate, they are the perfect high-protein snack for meal prep or satisfying sweet cravings.

They have that classic cake flavor without unnecessary additives or a chalky aftertaste. I make a batch almost every week, and if I didn’t limit my family members to just one bar a day, they would disappear in a blink!

The soft, chewy texture and just-right sweetness make them a favorite for the whole family. Whether for meal prep, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a post-workout boost, this is the protein bar recipe I always come back to – because it’s the best one I have ever made.

I love desserts that double as a snack – healthy and SO delicious! Who doesn’t love a good protein bar? They are among the most tasty, filling, and convenient healthy snack ideas you can enjoy. If you are looking to make homemade bars, though, then you have probably got an inkling that DIY’ing it has certain advantages.

The main draw with going the homemade route is the infinite customizability. Many protein energy bars on the market aren’t fit for everyone’s dietary needs (gluten free, vegan, nut-free, sugar free etc), but when making your own, you can make sure that they are!

Store bought protein energy bars can be expensive. Even the cheaper brands that tend to have more added sugar and other unnecessary ingredients are still a few dollars per bar. Not to mention the bars with more natural ingredients.

Also when you make your own, it comes out so much cheaper than buying from the store. Whip up a batch in under 5 minutes, and you might never want to spend money on another packaged protein bar ever again.

This homemade recipe does not have any nasty preservatives and artificial sweeteners and is packed with healthy fats, recipe tastes better than store bought bars, and is packed with clean and nutritious ingredients.

These bars have a chewy texture and are made with just a few simple ingredients that you can find at almost any grocery store. They are one of my go-to recipes to make so I can have a quick snack to grab on a busy day. In my opinion, They are a great post-workout snack or the perfect snack to curb your sweet tooth.

You can make a big batch and keep them chilled or even frozen until you’re ready to eat. Feel free to use your favorite protein powder, and the recipe can easily be doubled or tripled if you want to make up a big batch for meal prep.

This no-bake protein bar recipe turns low-carb ingredients into scrumptious, healthy protein-rich bars that are out of this world good. No baking powder, no oven, no truckloads of refined sugar, no white flour, just yummy bars that will satisfy your sweet tooth without all the carbs and calories!

Want a different presentation? Mold these bars into muffin cups instead of bars. When you use a muffin tin, you get portable, bite-sized delights perfect for snacking on the go or to roll out at family gatherings.

The possibilities are endless, and you can tailor these bars to fit your taste preferences and dietary needs so take this base recipe and craft your own masterpiece!

  Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the chilled bars and immediately sprinkle with additional rainbow sprinkles for extra color and crunch. Return the bars to the fridge for about 10-15 minutes until the topping is set.
