We’re back with a super easy no bake high protein dessert recipe, that recipe? A delicious Protein Peanut Butter Fudge made with 6 simple ingredients you probably already have on hand! It’s perfect for meal prep, has way better macros than the “real” thing”, and takes just minutes to make.

Speaking of fudge, what’s your favorite fudge flavor? Drop it in the comments below.

You can do this first step in either the microwave or a stovetop pan. I almost always use the microwave, it saves both time AND cleanup!

If you’re making this in the microwave, start by taking out a small microwavable bowl. Add into it, 12 tablespoons of a nut butter, 4 tablespoons of honey, and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil (butter work greats too). P.S. Don’t worry if your coconut oil isn’t melted!

Microwave Fudge

Microwave those ingredients for :30 seconds and mix everything together until smooth. If it’s not smooth after :30 seconds, continue microwaving in :15 second intervals until it is. This will all depend on how powerful your microwave is.

To lower the carbs you can substitute honey with either brown rice syrup (a little) or a sugar free syrup (a lot). I’ll put the nutritional information for both variations in the recipe card below.

No microwave? No problem! To make this using the stovetop, simply stir everything around on low heat until combined.

Moving on, take out a mixing bowl big enough to fit all of your ingredients. Add into it, 3 scoops of a good tasting protein powder that’ll complement your nut butter flavor. I like either chocolate or vanilla. Continue with 1/4 cup of coconut or other flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, an optional mix-in for flavor or texture, and your melted nut butter mix.

Pro tip? If your protein powder isn’t sweet enough, add in a little sweetener!

Mix everything together. If your mix thickens up too much, add in a little milk or milk substitute until it thins out.

Don’t have or don’t like coconut flour or are looking to change up the macros? Almond or oat flour are solid substitutes.

Protein Fudge

From here, take out some parchment paper and a pan or dish to put your parchment paper into. The size dish you use will determine the shape you want your protein peanut butter fudge pieces to be. You can use a sheet pan for thin pieces or something like a bread pan for thicker pieces.

Alternatively, if you don’t have parchment paper you could use something silicone like a mini cup “pan” which will also create your serving sizes and pop out easily as needed. I’ll link one of these below.

Pour your mix into whatever you’re using, evenly distribute it (keep it level), and optionally top it. Here are some of my favorite toppings:

Mix-Ins & Toppings

• Sugar Free Chips
• Chocolate Chips
• Peanut Butter Chips
• Butterscotch Chips
• White Chocolate Chips
• Heath Bar or Toffee Bits
• Pretzel Pieces
• Potato Chips
• Sea Salt

Put your soon to be protein peanut butter fudge into the freezer for a couple hours to settle.

Prior to eating it, remove it from the freezer for a couple minutes and cut it into however many pieces you want. The texture should be almost identical to “real” fudge.

As for storing this protein peanut butter fudge? Keep it in the freezer where it should last over a month, if not longer!
