Description

These cosmic brownie protein bites started as a snack fix—and turned into a fridge staple. I missed the chewy fudge and colorful candy dots of childhood brownies but didn’t want the sugar crash. So I blended almond butter, cocoa, and protein into something rich, fun, and snack-worthy. With a few rainbow chips on top, each bite feels nostalgic but better. No baking. No stress. Just mix, roll, chill, and bite. Whether it’s for post-workout fuel or a midday treat, these protein bites hit that sweet spot between health and happiness.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup almond butter

½ cup chocolate protein powder

¼ cup cocoa powder

2 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips

¼ cup rainbow candy chips

Optional: 2 tbsp almond flour (if dough is too soft)


Instructions

1. Mix almond butter, protein powder, cocoa, syrup, vanilla, and salt in a bowl.

2. Adjust texture with almond flour if too wet.

3. Fold in mini chocolate chips and most rainbow chips.

4. Roll into 12 bites and place on parchment-lined tray.

5. Chill in fridge for 30 minutes.

6. Optional: drizzle with melted chocolate and extra rainbow chips.


Notes
