Perfect for a quick energy boost or a guilt-free dessert, these bites are simple to make and customizable with your choice of nut butters and optional chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Batter

  • 2 medium very ripe Bananas
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter or Almond Butter or sunflower seed butter (nut-free option)
  • 1/2 cup Protein Powder (Vanilla or Chocolate, plant-based for vegan version)
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (raw cacao powder enhances health benefits)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup Mini Chocolate Chips (dairy-free for a fully vegan treat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare silicone baking cups by placing them into a muffin tin to hold the batter while baking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a medium-sized bowl, mash 2 very ripe bananas until mostly smooth but allowing some small lumps for texture.
  3. Add Nut Butter: Add 1/2 cup of your choice of peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflower seed butter to the mashed bananas and stir until creamy and well combined.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Incorporate 1/2 cup protein powder and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder into the banana and nut butter mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
  5. Fill Baking Cups: Spoon the batter evenly into the silicone cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow room for rising.
  6. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top of each filled cup for extra flavor and texture.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing them from the silicone cups. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure bananas are very ripe for optimal natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a desirable texture in the brownie bites.
  • Use dairy-free mini chocolate chips to keep the recipe fully vegan if desired.
  • Silicone baking cups help easily remove the bites without sticking and promote even baking.
