Protein Brownie Bites
Rich, fudgy Protein Brownie Bites that taste like little bites of brownie batter, with no baking required. Each bite has a little extra protein and fiber, making them an easy treat to keep in the fridge or freezer.
Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats or quick oats
- 1/2 cups chocolate protein powder
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 2/3 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add oats to a food processor. Blend on high until oats are fine and resemble flour.
- Add all remaining ingredients except for the chocolate chips. Blend until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the food processor. Note: if it appears too crumbly, add one additional tbsp milk.
- Stir in chocolate chips by hand (transfer into a bowl to do this if needed).
- Divide mixture and roll into 18 equal-sized smooth balls (packed 2 tbsp cookie scoop).
Notes
- Blend the oats into a fine flour for the smoothest, fudgiest texture.
- Taste the mixture before rolling. Protein powders vary in sweetness, so add the extra tablespoon of maple syrup if needed.
- If the mixture seems dry, blend in 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until it comes together into a soft dough.
- Quick oats work just as well as old-fashioned oats if that's what you have on hand.
- Store in the refrigerator or freezer for an easy grab-and-go snack.
