Equipment

  • Mini (or regular) muffin pan

Ingredients

Brownie Protein Bar Dough

  • 2 tbsp nut/seed butter (32 g)
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (21 g)
  • 1/4 cup plant-based protein powder (30 g) try whey/casein protein at own risk, or oat flour if you don't have protein
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (6 g) you can increase it for a deeper dark brownie bar
  • 1-2 tbsp (nut) milk (30 g) I used unsweetened almond milk

Chocolate ganache and sprinkles

  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips (15 g) vegan if desired
  • 1 tbsp nut/seed butter (16 g)
  • 1 tbsp sprinkles (12 g)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add nut butter, maple syrup, cocoa powder and stir until no cocoa clumps remain (microwaving for 10 seconds can help loosen up your nut butter).
  • Add protein powder and milk 1 tsp at a time, stirring to combine into a homogenous non-sticky bar dough. How much milk you need will depend on your nut butter and protein powder.
  • Press the bar dough into your muffin pan.
  • In a small bowl add chocolate chips and nut butter. Microwave 30 sec at a time and stir until all chocolate has melted.
  • Spread the chocolate coating on the muffin cavities evenly.
  • Sprinkle with sprinkles. Freeze or refrigerate 20-30 min to set.
  • If frozen, thaw a few minutes before enjoying. Keep them refrigerated or frozen!

Notes

  • I have not tried this recipe with whey protein so try it at your own risk. I used Orgain, Aloha and other plant-based protein powders of all kinds, and they all work beautifully! Use my ALOHA referral link to save on their products: https://aloha.com/MINIBATCH
  • If keeping them frozen thaw them for a few minutes before taking a bite!
  • If you don't have protein powder on hand, use oat flour instead and maybe some additional sweetener, vanilla, salt.
