Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (chocolate or vanilla flavor)
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or espresso powder

Mix-ins (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth and creamy, ensuring the mixture is well blended for a uniform taste.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, protein powder, oats, and optional spices like cinnamon or espresso powder to combine evenly.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until the batter forms a thick, cohesive dough. It should be sticky but easy to shape.
  4. Add Mix-ins: Fold in dark chocolate chips or nuts if desired. These ingredients add bursts of texture and flavor, complementing the brownie batter essence.
  5. Shape and Chill: Use a tablespoon to scoop out and roll the batter into bite-sized balls. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese to enhance creaminess and richness.
  • Adjust sweetness carefully; start with less honey or syrup and taste before adding more.
  • Select a protein powder flavor that pairs well with chocolate, such as vanilla or chocolate.
  • Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up and improve texture.
  • Store bites in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
