Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
  • 23 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • 23 tablespoons water or milk (to adjust consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the bites.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the protein powder and cocoa powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the nut butter and honey (if using) until the mixture is thick and well combined. Add water or milk gradually to reach a thick, but moldable, batter consistency.
  4. Shape Bites: Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small bite-sized balls or press into a lined mini muffin tin for uniform pieces.
  5. Bake: Place the bites on a baking sheet or keep in the muffin tin and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until firm to the touch but still soft inside.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the brownie bites cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying or storing in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce or omit honey/maple syrup.
  • Store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
  • Feel free to add chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture.
