Description
These protein brownie bites are rich, fudgy, and made with Greek yogurt for extra moisture and a protein boost.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup chocolate or vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
- ¼ cup oats
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or any neutral oil
- ¼ cup mini dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
- Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with silicone baking cups.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, protein powder, oats, baking soda, and salt until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, applesauce, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the dry ingredients and blend until smooth.
- If using, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and a pinch of espresso powder.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
