  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter or almond butter Nut-free version can use sunflower seed butter.

  3. Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out to create an even layer.

  7. Enjoy these delightful treats with a glass of cold milk or your favorite dairy alternative!

Notes

These Protein Brownie Bites are best enjoyed fresh but can last in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze individual portions for up to three months! Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds for that warm, gooey goodness.
