Scale
Main 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
For Topping
- Sprinkle of chocolate chips (mini, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to get ready for baking the brownie bites.
- Mash Bananas: In a medium-sized bowl, mash the very ripe bananas until mostly smooth. It’s fine if a few lumps remain as they add texture.
- Add Nut Butter: Stir the smooth peanut butter or almond butter into the mashed bananas until the mixture is well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the protein powder and cocoa powder into the banana and nut butter mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated into a smooth batter.
- Prepare Baking Cups: Arrange 8 silicone baking cups in a muffin tin to hold the brownie batter and prevent sticking.
- Fill Cups: Spoon the brownie batter evenly into each silicone cup using a spoon and spatula, smoothing the tops slightly. Sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips on each cup if desired for added chocolatey texture.
- Bake: Bake the brownie bites in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. They will be soft upon removal but will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownie bites to cool fully to room temperature so they set properly. Serve them cold, at room temperature, or slightly warmed based on your preference.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and best texture.
- Silicone baking cups help prevent sticking and make for easy removal.
- Chocolate chips on top are optional but add extra flavor and texture.
- Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- These bites are great as a quick snack or post-workout energy boost.
