Protein Brownie Bites: An Incredible Guilt-Free Treat

Ingredients

– 1 cup black beans (cooked and drained)
– 1/2 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter
– 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
– 1/4 cup cocoa powder
– 1 scoop protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– A pinch of salt
– 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your Protein Brownie Bites:

1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly or using silicone molds.
2. Blend the beans: In a food processor, combine the black beans, peanut butter, honey, cocoa powder, protein powder, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Add chocolate chips: If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them into the batter after blending.
4. Fill the molds: Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
5. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. The bites should be firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out almost clean.
6. Cool down: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

By following these steps, you’ll make delicious Protein Brownie Bites that are ready to be enjoyed!
