Satisfy your sweet cravings with these No-Bake Cottage Cheese Brownie Batter Protein Bites!

Ingredients

Cottage cheese

Unsweetened cocoa powder

Chocolate protein powder

Honey or maple syrup

Vanilla extract

Almond flour

Mini chocolate chips (optional)

Dark chocolate chips (for the topping)

Coconut oil (for the topping)


Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and fully incorporated.

  • Gradually mix in almond flour until well combined.

  • Optionally, fold in mini chocolate chips for added texture.

  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.

  • Place the bites on a plate lined with parchment paper.

  • Melt dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20-30 seconds until smooth.

  • Drizzle or dip the melted chocolate over each bite.

  • Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up and allow the chocolate to set.

  • Enjoy your protein-packed brownie batter bites!


Notes

  • You can use oat flour instead of almond flour for a nut-free version.

  • Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the honey or maple syrup amount.

  • Customize with additional mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or seeds.

  • Vegan options: Use plant-based protein powder, maple syrup instead of honey, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
