Introduction

These protein brownie bites are a delicious, flourless, and eggless treat packed with natural sweetness and rich chocolate flavor. Perfect as a healthy snack or post-workout boost, they are easy to make and require just a few simple ingredients.

Ingredients

• 3 very ripe bananas
• ½ cup smooth peanut butter or almond butter
• ½ cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder (about 2 scoops)
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• Chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth, leaving a few lumps for texture.
3. Step 3: Stir the peanut or almond butter into the mashed bananas until well combined.
4. Step 4: Add the protein powder and cocoa powder, mixing until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

6. Step 6: Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of each brownie bite, if using.
7. Step 7: Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the bites are set and cooked through. They will be soft when warm but will firm up as they cool.
8. Step 8: Let them cool completely before removing from the cups. Serve at room temperature, chilled, or slightly warmed.

Tips & Variations

• Use almond butter for a slightly lighter flavor or peanut butter for a richer taste.
• Swap the protein powder with your preferred flavor to customize sweetness and taste.
• Add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter for extra texture.
• Ensure the bananas are very ripe for natural sweetness and moisture.

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of protein powder?

This recipe relies on protein powder to provide structure and nutrition, so substituting flour will change the texture and may require adjusting other ingredients. For best results, use protein powder as directed.

Are these brownies suitable for vegans?

Yes, this recipe is eggless and flourless, but ensure the protein powder you use is plant-based and all other ingredients meet your dietary preferences.

Instructions
