Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup raw walnuts

Flavor Enhancers

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Add-Ins

  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon water (if needed for consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by adding the pitted and chopped Medjool dates along with the raw walnuts into a food processor. Pulse this mixture until it becomes finely ground, forming a coarse, crumbly base.
  2. Add Flavor Ingredients: Next, add the unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt to the food processor. Process the mixture until it begins to form a dough-like consistency that sticks together.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too dry and crumbly, add 1 tablespoon of water to help it bind better. Pulse a few more times until the mixture is uniform and doughy.
  4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Remove the mixture from the processor and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips if using, to add texture and bursts of chocolate.
  5. Form Bites: Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. Aim for about 12 equal-sized bites.
  6. Chill and Set: Place the formed bites on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and develop the perfect chewy texture.
  7. Store Properly: Store the no-bake brownie protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or cashew butter depending on preference or allergies.
  • To keep the recipe fully vegan, ensure to use vegan-friendly chocolate protein powder.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of each bite before refrigerating.
