Ingredients

½ cup (50 g) protein powder chocolate recommended
½ cup (50 g) almond flour or oat flour
¼ cup (25 g) cocoa powder
a pinch of salt optional
⅓ cup (80 g) almond butter or peanut butter
3 to 5 tbsp maple syrup or honey, to taste
4 tbsp chocolate chunks optional

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine protein powder with almond flour, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt.
Add to the bowl almond butter and maple syrup.
Mix with a spatula or fork until a smooth dough forms. If necessary, use your hands to knead.
If the dough is too dry, add a splash of milk or a little more almond butter. If it’s too wet, mix in extra almond flour or a bit more protein powder instead. Casein and vegan protein powder absorb more moisture than whey.
Fold through chocolate chunks or any mix-ins you'd like, if desired.
Scoop out portions of dough and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. To prevent sticking, lightly dampen your palms or dust them with almond flour.
Line the protein brownie bites on a tray or in a container and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to help them firm up.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Troubleshooting

Protein powders behave differently. Whey mixes smoothly but can turn sticky, while plant-based or casein powders soak up more liquid and might lead to a drier dough.

If it’s too dry – Add a spoonful of almond butter or a small splash of milk to bring the mixture together.
If it’s too sticky – Mix in some extra almond flour or a bit more protein powder until the texture firms up.
