Double-Chocolate Protein Brownie Bites
Easy high-protein brownie bites with 28g protein per serving. Greek yogurt and protein powder make these fudgy chocolate snacks perfect for muscle building.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/3 cup natural almond butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp water (if needed for consistency)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a standard muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with coconut oil.
- 2
Blend the rolled oats in a food processor until they resemble fine flour, about 1 minute, then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- 3
Whisk together the cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, and sea salt in the bowl with the oat flour, breaking up any clumps with the back of a spoon.
- 4
Combine the Greek yogurt, almond butter, honey, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl, stirring until completely smooth and well incorporated.
- 5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until just combined, about 15-20 folds—do not overmix.
- 6
Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently, reserving a few for topping if desired.
- 7
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full, then place a few reserved chocolate chips on top of each bite if using.
- 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
- 9
Remove from the oven and allow the brownie bites to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
- 10
Cool completely at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before serving, or refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Variations & Substitutions
| Ingredient | Substitute | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| plain nonfat Greek yogurt | plain 2% Greek yogurt | Adds richness and creamier texture while maintaining high protein content (20g per 100g vs 10g for regular yogurt) |
| natural almond butter | natural peanut butter or powdered peanut butter (PB2) | Peanut butter adds 8g protein per 2 tbsp; PB2 cuts fat while maintaining protein for leaner macros |
| chocolate protein powder | double chocolate protein powder or chocolate peanut butter protein | Intensifies chocolate flavor and increases protein per serving to 30g+; peanut butter variety adds dimension |
| honey | maple syrup or unsweetened applesauce (1/4 cup) | Maple syrup maintains sweetness with similar macros; applesauce reduces sugar while adding fiber for better blood sugar stability |
| dark chocolate chips | chopped dark chocolate (85% cacao) or cacao nibs | Higher cacao percentage reduces added sugar; cacao nibs add crunch and antioxidants with zero added sugar |
