Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (48 g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder
  • 3 tbsp (18 g) unsweetened regular (NOT Dutch-processed) cocoa powder
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup almond butter
  • 2 tbsp almond milk
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 6 oz dark chocolate (60% cacao; good-quality chips or chopped bars)
  • 1 tbsp refined coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp mini rainbow-colored chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and kosher salt until evenly mixed.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the almond butter, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture using a rubber spatula. Fold gently until the dough is well combined and uniform.
  3. Form Bites: Scoop a heaping tablespoon (about 20 grams) of dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat until you have 12 balls total. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If the balls feel sticky or too soft, freeze them for 15 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt Chocolate Coating: In a medium heatproof bowl, microwave the dark chocolate and refined coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is melted and smooth—about 90 seconds total.
  5. Coat Bites with Chocolate: One at a time, dip each brownie bite into the melted chocolate, spooning chocolate over to coat completely. Lift out with a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, then return the bite to the baking sheet.
  6. Add Rainbow Chips: Allow the chocolate on each bite to set for a few minutes before sprinkling with mini rainbow-colored chocolate chips for a fun and colorful finish.
  7. Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the coated bites until the chocolate hardens, at least 30 minutes. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

  • If the dough feels too sticky to handle, place it in the freezer for 15 minutes before rolling.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 60% cacao for the best flavor and consistency.
  • Refined coconut oil helps achieve a smooth, shiny chocolate coating but can be substituted with another neutral oil if desired.
  • Store the protein bites in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
  • These bites are perfect as a quick snack or post-workout energy boost.
