Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 2 cups Oats Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter Substitute with almond or sunflower seed butter if desired.
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder Feel free to omit for a lower protein snack.
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder Essential for that deep chocolatey flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Honey or Maple Syrup Adjust for taste; agave nectar is a good alternative.
  • 1/4 cup Chia Seeds Flaxseed is a suitable substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Optional but highly recommended.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances all the flavors.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • spatula
  • measuring cups
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for the Brownie Protein Bites recipe. Make sure your nut butter is creamy for easy mixing. If desired, pulse the oats in a food processor for a finer texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly mixed and no clumps remain.
  3. Add the creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry mix. Blend the mixture until it becomes a sticky, cohesive dough.
  4. Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form bite-sized balls. Place each ball on a prepared tray lined with parchment paper.
  5. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the bites to firm up and hold their shape better.
