Delicious Protein Brownie Bites are a healthy and indulgent treat combining ripe bananas, peanut or almond butter, protein powder, and rich cocoa.

Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 medium Bananas (very ripe)
  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter or Almond Butter (or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)

Dry Ingredients

  • 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)

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your silicone baking cups by placing them in a muffin tin to hold their shape during baking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the 2 very ripe bananas until smooth but still with some small lumps to add texture to the brownie bites.
  3. Add Nut Butter: Stir in 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined with the bananas.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate 1/2 cup protein powder and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder into the wet mixture, stirring thoroughly until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  5. Fill Baking Cups: Scoop the batter into the silicone cups, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for rising during baking.
  6. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly on top of each filled cup to add texture and extra chocolate flavor.
  7. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake the brownie bites for 20 minutes until the tops are set and slightly firm to the touch.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownie bites from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before taking them out of the silicone cups. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Choose protein powders based on dietary preferences: plant-based for vegan or whey for non-vegan options.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut or almond butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Dairy-free mini chocolate chips are preferred to keep the bites vegan-friendly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Chocolate chips on top can be skipped or replaced with chopped nuts or shredded coconut if desired.
