The best thing about these nut-free protein bars is that they’re easy to customize. Once you make your coconut butter base, it’s ready to pair with just about any mix-in under the sun. You can try the suggestions in the recipe below, or get wild and include dark chocolate chunks, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, sea salt, or chunks of cacao butter.

Serve your homemade collagen protein bars with Bulletproof Coffee, pack them in your lunch, or enjoy as a sweet afternoon snack.
