Introduction

These Ooey Gooey Brownie Batter Protein Balls are the perfect no-bake treat for a quick energy boost. Made without a blender and packed with chocolatey goodness, they’re easy to whip up and satisfy your sweet tooth healthily.

Ingredients

• 1.25 cups almond flour (or oat flour)
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• ¾ cup almond butter (or cashew butter)
• ½ cup chocolate protein powder (protein of choice)
• ¼ cup maple syrup (or honey or agave)
• ¼ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
• ¼ cup chocolate chunks (Hu chocolate bar chopped or chocolate chips)
• ¼ teaspoon instant coffee

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a tray with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, almond butter, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, instant coffee, and almond milk. Mix with a hand mixer or by hand until a dough-like consistency forms.
2. Step 2: Fold in the chocolate chunks until evenly distributed. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form 16 to 20 balls about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared tray and freeze for 15 minutes.
3. Step 3: Transfer the protein balls to an airtight container and store them in the fridge or freezer until ready to enjoy.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract to the mixture before forming the balls.
• Use peanut butter instead of almond or cashew butter for a different nutty twist.
• Swap chocolate protein powder for vanilla to change the profile while keeping the texture.
• If the mixture feels too sticky, chill it for a few minutes before rolling into balls to make handling easier.

Storage

Store the protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze them for up to one month. To enjoy, simply thaw in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes or eat them chilled straight from the fridge for a firm texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of flour?

Yes, oat flour or any other nut flour works well as a substitute for almond flour, though it may slightly change the texture.

Do I have to freeze the balls before storing?

Freezing helps them set and hold their shape better, but you can store them directly in the fridge if short on time. Just expect a softer texture.

Use a hand mixer or mix vigorously by hand until you achieve a thick, play dough-like consistency.
2. Incorporate chocolate chunks and shape: Fold in the chopped chocolate chunks evenly throughout the mixture. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form 16 to 20 evenly sized balls measuring about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Place the formed balls on the prepared tray.
3. Set the protein balls: Freeze the balls on the tray for 15 minutes to allow them to firm up. Once set, transfer the balls to an airtight container.
4. Storage: Store the protein balls in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for longer storage. Enjoy as a quick snack or protein-packed dessert anytime.
