Description
Indulgent yet healthy no-bake brownie protein bites with a rich taste and protein boost.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Medjool Dates (pitted, firmly packed)
- 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Protein Powder
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 cup Almond Butter (creamy, or peanut butter)
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup (or honey)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Sea Salt
- 2–3 tbsp Cold Water (as needed)
- 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the pitted Medjool dates, rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sea salt in a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles a coarse, crumbly meal.
- Add the almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Process again, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
- If the dough seems too dry, add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, processing after each, until a firm, pliable dough forms.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips (if using), then roll the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months. For best texture, use fresh Medjool dates.
