High Protein Brownie Batter Bites
A rich, chocolatey snack that tastes like a treat but fuels like a real-food meal.
Servings: 16 bites
Calories: 65kcal
Equipment
- Parchment paper (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat)
- 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 2 TBSP cocoa powder
- 2 TBSP peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 2 TBSP maple syrup (or raw honey)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 2 TBSP mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Blend cottage cheese, protein powder, cocoa powder, nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla in a blender or food processor until smooth and thick.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in almond flour until the mixture is firm enough to scoop. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
- Scoop and roll into 12–16 brownie batter bites. Place the dough onto the parchment lined baking tray and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. If your dough is really soft, then chill the bowl for about 10–15 minutes first before scooping.
Notes
If your house is like mine, rolling them smaller helps stretch the batch. I’ll often make 16 mini bites so everyone gets one and the older kids can grab seconds.
