Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Blend wet ingredients: Add cottage cheese, maple syrup, and peanut butter (if using) to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy for a consistent base.
- Combine dry ingredients: Transfer the blended mixture to a large bowl. Fold in the cocoa powder, almond flour, and chocolate protein powder until fully combined, creating a thick brownie batter-like consistency.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute for added texture and chocolate bursts.
- Form bites: Using a tablespoon, scoop and roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.
- Chill: Refrigerate the bites for about 20 minutes to allow them to firm up and set before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit the peanut butter or substitute with sunflower seed butter.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Store protein bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- These bites can also be frozen for longer storage; thaw in the fridge before eating.
- Add a pinch of salt if desired to enhance the chocolate flavor.
