Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Blend Wet Ingredients: Add cottage cheese, maple syrup, and peanut butter (if using) to a blender or food processor and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy to create a consistent base.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl and fold in cocoa powder, almond flour, and chocolate protein powder until everything is thoroughly combined and forms a thick batter.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly without breaking them apart.
- Shape the Batter: Using a tablespoon, scoop and roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, arranging them evenly on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the prepared brownie batter balls for about 20 minutes to firm up before serving or storing, ensuring they hold their shape and develop a pleasant texture.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit the peanut butter or substitute with sunflower seed butter.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture.
- These brownie bites can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freezing is possible for longer storage; thaw before eating.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
