Delight in these no-bake Peppermint Brownie Bites, a protein-packed treat that blends the rich flavors of carob or cocoa with refreshing peppermint. Perfect as a quick snack or a festive dessert, these bites combine wholesome ingredients like sunflower seed butter and pure maple syrup, topped with a luscious carob-chocolate drizzle and crushed peppermint candies for a crunchy finish.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup protein powder
  • ¼ cup roasted carob powder or unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup sunflower seed butter
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1 tablespoon water

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon carob chips or chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 1 peppermint candy cane or 4 peppermint candies

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the protein powder, carob powder, and kosher salt until thoroughly combined.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Incorporate the sunflower seed butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and water into the dry mix. Using a rubber spatula, mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated, resulting in a thick dough.
  3. Form bites: Use a 1-ounce cookie scoop or spoon to portion 2 tablespoons of dough. Firmly compact and roll the dough into a golf ball-sized sphere. Place each ball on a plate and repeat with the remaining dough.
  4. Prepare topping: In a small bowl, combine carob or chocolate chips with coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Top bites: Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over each brownie bite evenly.
  6. Crush peppermint: Place the peppermint candy cane or candies in a sealed zip-top bag, then crush into small bits using a firm utensil like a pot.
  7. Finish and chill: Sprinkle the crushed peppermint atop each bite, then freeze them for 10 minutes to harden the topping.
  8. Serve or store: Enjoy immediately or store the bites in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • These bites are no-bake, making them a quick and convenient snack option.
  • Carob powder can be substituted with unsweetened cocoa powder if preferred.
  • For a nut-free alternative, substitute sunflower seed butter with another seed butter.
  • Storing bites in the fridge helps maintain freshness and texture for up to 4 days.
  • Adjust peppermint extract to taste for a stronger or milder peppermint flavor.
  • Use vegan chocolate chips to keep the recipe plant-based.
