These Ridiculously Good No-Bake Protein Brownie Bites are a delicious and healthy snack combining chocolate protein, almond flour, and creamy cashew butter into bite-sized treats. Perfect for a quick, satisfying boost of protein and flavor without any oven time.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 20 bites

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy cashew butter
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins and Topping

  • 1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips
  • Flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate protein powder, blanched almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until thoroughly combined and uniform in texture.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Add the creamy cashew butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir vigorously until a thick dough forms and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Incorporate chocolate chips: Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough, careful not to overmix.
  4. Chill the dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape into bites.
  5. Scoop and shape: Using a 2-tablespoon cookie dough scoop, portion the dough into approximately 20 bite-sized balls and arrange them on a tray or plate.
  6. Add finishing touch: Sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each brownie bite to enhance the chocolate flavor and add a subtle crunch.
  7. Serve and enjoy: These brownie bites are ready to eat immediately or can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup to your preferred sweetness level, starting at 1/4 cup and adding more if needed.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute cashew butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Store brownie bites in the fridge to maintain firmness and freshness.
  • These treats can be frozen for up to one month; thaw before serving.
  • Use protein powder of your choice, preferably chocolate flavored for best taste.
